Ain’t no use in complainin’
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin’s down at the drive in
And that’s when I met you

Standin’ on ya mama’s porch
You told me that you’d wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

E heu! Hei chuan hmangaihna lam a hawi lo maw? Ni e, ni rawh se. Kai\en a ni emaw, kailawn a ni emaw, leikapui a ni emaw, porch a ni emaw, a dang chuang lo.

Chutiang te chu hringnun kalphung a ni ve hrim hrim zawk a ni lo’m ni?

Man we were killin’ time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin’ can last forever, no

And now the times are changin’
Look at everything that’s come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Ngaihtuahnaah hian thil dang leh thu dang a awm tam lo. Kan pawisa tlém te chu thingfâk kan hmuh kan hralhna te nen kan belhkhâwm a, sa kan lei a. Banglalui mawng lamah, pialtlêp nuam leh rai tha deuh kan zawng a, kan zuk picnic a. Lung hi a awi êm êm ringawt mai.
