I went to the doctor guess what she said 

She said being in love is bad for your head

C’mon doc now how can that be 

When I was young love was everything 

She said listen jackass I have a degree 

Love goes to hell when you’re old like me 


Because everything’s better with a bottle of youth 

Everything’s better with a bottle of youth 


Three old players brought their amps and gear 

And played us the chords from yesteryear 

The notes were there, they played the same songs 

But it seemed a little different with the amps turned on 

The sound guy shrugged and turned away 

He said it all goes to hell when they age on stage 


Because everything’s better with a bottle of youth 

Everything’s better with a bottle of youth 

And it’s hard to deny the liquor of life 

Can be the taste of youth when the bottle runs dry 


[Mystery Section! Changes with each performance. Perhaps something witty, topical or poignant.] 


And unless you’re the oldest person on earth, 

You’re always younger than someone else 

And who says youth is wasted on the young, 

I've got a bootleg bottle now to share with someone 


Because everything’s better with a bottle of youth 

Everything’s better with a bottle of youth 

It’s hard to deny the liquor of life 

Can be the taste of youth when the bottle seems dry 

And everybody has a little bottle of youth
