Jon recieved a platinum record for the work he did with Boston's "3rd Stage" CD and decided to write some material with a harder edge and conviction.

Youth is only wasted on the young...

Lyrics

note: BroadJam Top-10 Rock / Hard Rock

Live & Learn

Verse:
Ever since I was a young man I did things my own way
Never listened to anyone or what they had ta say
Now a little older and things just aint the same
Now I sit and wonder why good things passed me by
I took too long ta realize what was wrong from right
Now ya see the mess I?m in, I need you back in my life baby
I tried ta run I tried ta hide
Tried ta keep it all inside ? well I

Chorus:
Live and I Learn ? young man don?t need love
he just wants ta burn ? and I
Live and I Learn ? what?s done is done
youth is only wasted on the young

Verse:
Well I travel to the East and I travel to the West
I still can?t find what I?m lookin for and it makes me damn depressed
Such a waste of time, such a waste of love
Now read between the stories, the lines written on my face
It?s taken from a time, it?s taken from a place
Where no love could be found the price was too high ta pay ?
I tried ta run I tried ta hide
Can?t keep it all inside ? well I

Chorus:
Live and I Learn ? young man don?t need love
he just wants ta burn ? and I
Live and I Learn ? what?s done is done
youth is only wasted on the young

Solo:

Verse:
I tried ta hide from love
But I can?t get away ? well I

Chorus:
Live and I Learn ? young man don?t need love
he just wants ta burn ? and I
Live and I Learn ? what?s done is done
youth is only wasted on the young
