| We were thin as rails, thick as thieves
|
| Little acorns trying to be trees
|
| 16 going on 18 going on 21
|
| We choked on smokes, gagged on bourbon
|
| Hitting 'em both, bound and determined
|
| To be anywhere but where we were
|
| Somebody mighta said it but we wouldn’t have heard it
|
| Say young man, you’re growin' up so fast
|
| You only get one chance, one chance to be a young man
|
| Young man
|
| You won’t know what your carefree days are worth
|
| When you’re up to your blue collar neck in work
|
| Soak it in while you can
|
| Just be young, just be young man
|
| She was driving me wild in a Z28
|
| Strawberry Boones was gas on a flame
|
| She had her finger on the trigger
|
| Neither one of us considered the safety
|
| Backseat rodeo was all fun and games
|
| 'Til she told me I ruined her life, she was late
|
| I wanted to run 'cause all I could think
|
| I’m a young man growin' up so fast
|
| And I only get one chance, one chance to be young man
|
| Young man
|
| You’re gonna know what your carefree days are worth
|
| When you’re up to your blue collar neck in work
|
| Soak it in while you can
|
| Just be young, just be, just be young man
|
| Oh, just be young
|
| Son, I’m cool when you do what you do
|
| The flat brim hat and peach fuzz chin
|
| When I go to hug you and you try to shake my hand, think again
|
| Take it from your old man
|
| You’re growing up so fast
|
| And you only get one chance, one chance to be young man
|
| Young man
|
| You don’t know what your carefree days are worth
|
| 'Til you’re up to your blue collar neck in work
|
| So soak it in while you can
|
| Just be young, just be young, man
|
| Just be young
|
| Oh, just be young
|
| Just be young, young man |
