young hearts (the candidate)

footloose and grand

nick and the younger boy out hunting on the land

they're marching off both carrying big gun

into the wilderness for a beast that's on the run

snow is falling

blizzard's in the air

nick says: 'have a hit

boy

there's lots for us to share'

beast on the hill lets out a mighty roar so both boys get a chill

nick holds out the weapon and closes up one eye

flexes his trigger finger and squeezes on the iron

grizzly runs aware now of the game

a second shot rings out

the beast is slain

too young

too pink in the face but they're growing up

young hearts in search of a place and a silver cup

too young

too pink in the face but they're growing now

oh young hearts in search of a place and they want it now

blood in the snow

there's death in the winter-time and the boys are ready to go

the younger boy says: 'help me

help me nick to know'

and nick says: 'break out the whiskey

boy

let's help the red juice flow'

in the afterglow there's nothing much to say

they're both growing up

they hit the beast today

too young

too pink in the face but they're growing up

young hearts in search of a place and a silver cup

too young

too pink in the face but they're growing now

oh young hearts in search of a place and they want it now

uh now

too young

too pink in the face but they're growing up

young hearts in search of a place and a silver cup

oh too young

too pink in the face but they're growing now

oh young hearts in search of a place and they want it now
