If you arent familiar with the MGA, here is a link with pictures of same:

When we were young and had no cares
We rode Bobs car in open air.
Wed put the top down on green MGA.
When we were young and had no cares.

Wed glide that car through lazy bends.
Downshift into some tight hair pins.
Two wheels would try to lift up from the road.
When we were young and had no cares.

We thought these things would never change.
We knew wed always be the same
Just like that MGA, were born to fly.
When we were young and had no cares.

Our hopes were high. Our hearts were light.
Changing gears, embraced new sights.
The race we could not win was time.
When we were young and had no cares.

Some years were kind. Some years were not.
Some time went faster than I thought it would.
I married love , had one fine son
And as I think of all weve done
Im dwelling less on why than on because.

Wed glide that car through lazy bends.
Downshift into some tight hair pins.
Two wheels would try to lift up from the road.
But thats the way it ought to be. Its universal history.
So fond farewell to youth and green MG.
When we were young and had no cares.

@nidgetucker hi there nidge. i'm so pleased if you like this one. it sure brought back some fine memories for me during the writing of it. be well friend, chuck.

Hi Chuck - Great song, one of your best. Words and music work together seamlessly. I'm especially fond of the metaphysical aspects of the lyrics, which flow easily through a story that most can identify with. Bravo.

hi there bobby, real nice to hear from you. i appreciate and value your opinion, especially as you are one of my own favorite writers, right up there with the likes of paul simon, and byron walker and such. hope to see you monday but might not happen if roads are bad. be well and happy, chuck.

Like the intro. great guitar work. Nice lyrics and voice. Well done Chuck.

hi pete, welcome back! the unusual chords i play thru the verses are a progression i came up with at least 25 years ago, but until now, never had a lyric to go with it. probably because i was locked into too much standard 1-4-5 progressions due to my folk music back ground. lately i have been trying to learn a few new things and take a couple music lessons when time and fortune permit. would love to know even a fraction of that mark, the instructor knows. be well friend, chuck.

hi dave, thanks for taking the time to listen. it's funny though how life changes some of us thru the years. don't get me wrong, i very much like my career as a roofing contractor, but it absolutely leaves me no free time (except winter of course) for just pleasure driving on winding roads. now....if i could afford an mg with chrome ladder racks and a 32 feet ladder, that might be the ticket. be well, and hello to your own fine son, chuck.

Hi Chuck lovely little story here my friend and again your guitar work is excellent. I would so love an open top MG maybe some day! Great start to the new year, all the best

Dave
