Young and Free Songtext
von Art Garfunkel with Maia Sharp & Buddy Mondlock

Young and free, young and free
How I feel in your company
If only yesterday
I′d hesitate to say
What would become of me
Young and free, young and free

Know too much, know too much
Keeps you old and gray
And out of touch
My words are quick to sound
The arms are slow to fold around
A knowing touch
Young and free, young and free


The clock alarms, the day begins
The lady charms, the money spends
She's trying on the satin shoes
She wants to fly to Baton Rouge

Yeah, the clock alarms, the day begins
The lady charms, the money spends
She wants to buy the satin shoes
She wants to fly to Baton Rouge
(I don′t know why to Baton Rouge)

Oh, autumn day, autumn day
Leaves like birds
Up and flown away
Here's to days I used to wake up dead alone
Stay in bed
The curtains drawn all day
Young and free, young and free
(Young and free, young and free)

Young and free, young and free
(Young and free, young and free)


(Young and free, young and free)
(Young and free, young and free)
