We were thin as rails thick as thieves |Little acorns tryin' to be trees|16 goin' on 18 goin' on 21|Choked on smoked, gagged on bourbon |Kept hittin' 'em both bound and determined|To be anywhere than where we were |Somebody might've said it but I wouldn't have heard||Hey young man you're growin' up so fast|You only get one chance one chance to be young, man - young man |You're gonna know what these 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 drivin' me wild in my Z28|Strawberry Boones was gas on a flame|We had our fingers 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 and she's late |I wanted to run 'cuz all I could think||Was I'm a young man growin' up so fast|You only get one chance one chance to be young, man - young man |You're gonna know what these 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 ||Son, I'm cool with doin' what you do|Your flat brim hat and your peach fuzz chin |But if I go to hug you and you try to shake my hand - I ain't havin' that||I'm gonna tell 'ya young man - take it from your old man|You only get once once chance |To be young man - young man |There ain't no sin in slowin' it down|You got a good thing goin' where you are right now |So soak it in while you can|Just be young - just be young, man
