Текст песни It Was A Very Good Year (with Willie Nelson) - Ray Charles , Willie Nelson

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

When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls who lived up the stair
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
And their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five

But now the days grow short
I'm in the autumn of the years
And 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
