Her Dog Henry - When We Were Young Lyrics

We hunted dinosaurs for dinner
Our TV it was black and white
We drove our horse and buggy
To the mall every Saturday night
Mama charged her cellphone
Down at the water mill
Our cave had shag carpets
Power windows, and a diesel grill

Life was pure and simple
When we were young
We knew left from right
And right from wrong
We worked the fields at harvest time
When we were young
We went to be before nine
When we were young

Weekends we'd watch the chariot race
We didn't have Facebook so we used Myspace
We texted in Latin, web sites were in Greek
We'd take a bath seven nights a week
Papa commuted in his biplane
The freeways only had one lane
Skyscrapers were made of straw
Gravity wasn't yet a law

Life was bright and joyful
When we were young
We made a fortune in real estate
Our industry was strong
We ate what was on our plate
When we were young
Never kissed on a first date
When we were young

When Germany invaded, we had to leave Vietnam
By the time we reached Moscow we had the atom bomb
Lincoln fled the White House for the shores of Tripoli
Napoleon he saved the day when they shot the Kennedys

Life was pure and simple
When we were young
We knew left from right
And right from wrong
We worked the fields at harvest time
When we were young
We went to be before nine
When we were young

When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
