"Teenage Alibi" by Rob Young Copyright 2008
Verse 1
Way back in nineteen seventy six
It was about love not politics
Concert shirts, our hair was long
really dug our rockin roll songs
Stayed out past midnight and our parents would sigh
tried to sell them on a teenage alibi
Chased the girls down in Ft Lauderdale
where it would lead it was hard to tell
combed our hair just to get that look
practiced our lines and we'd bait the hook
sometimes we got lucky, other times we just tried and tried
but we were ready with our teenage alibi's
Chorus
cuz.....
It was all about the goodtimes
It was all about having fun
It was all about hanging out with your friends
and dancing in the sun
Verse 2
Way back in nineteen seventy seven
it was a simplier time we were living
Fleetwood Mac, Steve Miller band
played on the beach just to get a tan
took our girls for a walk, kissed 'em and looked them in the eyes
we said "come on baby you got a teenage alibi?"
Race'd a chevelle down on Griffin road
snapped a belt, and had to have it towed
talk was cheap but the action was fun
If we fought we didn't have no guns
paid the price when we got home but we never cried
cause we were always sticking to our teenage alibi
Chorus
It was all about the goodtimes
It was all about having fun
It was all about hanging out with your friends
and dancing in the sun
Verse 3
Way back in nineteen seventy eight
slipped out the window just to say out late
we bought some beer and some cigarettes
We drank too much cause we had a bet
but don't you know we all came up with our little white lies
yeah we were always working on our teenage alibi
Now were talking about "way back when"
and given a chance we'd do it again
summertimes that slip and fade
and memories that never go away
like a flash of lightning............ in the sky
it all disappeared with our teenage alibi's
Chorus
Yeah It was all about the goodtimes
It was all about having fun
It was all about hanging out with your friends
and dancing in the sun
