Young Man

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 of 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 these carefree days are worth

When you're up to your blue collar neck in work

Soak it in while you still 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

Till 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

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

(Don't just be young)

Son I'm cool when you do what 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 a young man,

Young man

You don't know what your carefree days are worth

Till your up to you're blue collar neck in work

So soak it in while you can just be young just be young, man

Just be young

Don't just be young

Just be young, young man
