It Was A Very Good Year Lyrics

When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e123412-willie_nelson~it_was_a_very_good_year_lyrics.html ]
When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived upstairs
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one

When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
We'd ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five

But now the days grow short
I'm in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
From fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs
And it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year
It was a very good year
It was a very good year
