Johnny Van Zant Lyrics
"Young Girls"

(Johnny Van Zant - Erik Lundgren - Robert White Johnson)

Young girls out on the street
Late night with nowhere to sleep
Runnin' away nothing's at home
Carrie she packed up her dreams
Truth is more than it seems
Cold hard facts are scary face to face.

But she's too caught up
And the fantasy won't let go
Sooner or later somethin' is gonna break
She'll find out the hard way.

Chorus:
Young girls know what to do
Show up in red and end up wearin' blue
Young girls, no it ain't nothin' new
Don't know when to leave it alone.

Desperate she follows the lights
To get by just one more night
She'd give anything
To have it the way it was.

Well, she's too caught up
And the fantasy won't let go
Sooner or later somethin' is gonna break
She'll find out the hard way.

Young girls know what to do
Show up in red and end up wearin' blue
Young girls, no it ain't nothin' new
Don't know when to leave it alone.

Young girls, no one to catch you
When you fall
Young girls they'll find out the hard way.

Chorus:
Young girls know what to do
Show up in red and end up wearin' blue
Young girls, no it ain't nothin' new
Don't know when to leave it alone...
