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
