"Wasted" Songs

Here we have a collection of songs about things that are "Wasted." Sometimes it's years, sometimes youth, and quite often it's time. If you like these, there'll be more to come tomorrow. If you don't like these, you probably won't want to check back tomorrow either. Otherwise, enjoy!  ~  JH
