| I won’t forget the day I found
|
| My first place on the edge of town
|
| A few milk crates, a beat-up couch and an old T. V
|
| A little rundown, a little bit small
|
| But to me it was the Taj Mahal
|
| It’s just one of those things you gotta be young to see
|
| Friday night, what the hell, let’s go
|
| And just like that we were on a roll
|
| Three best friends and a radio, that was all we’d need
|
| We put a thousand miles on an old red jeep
|
| Just to watch the sun rise on the beach
|
| It’s just one of those things you gotta be young to see
|
| When you’re young
|
| There’s plenty of time to get older
|
| Once you’re old
|
| That’s all you’ll ever be
|
| Yeah, that’s the beauty to livin' life
|
| Wild and free
|
| It’s just one of those things you gotta be young to see
|
| I left home around 22
|
| Mama was beggin' me to finish school
|
| But there was nothing they could do, it was up to me
|
| So I packed my bags and an old guitar
|
| Cause if you’re ever gonna be a star
|
| It’s just one of those things you gotta be young to see
|
| When you’re young
|
| There’s plenty of time to get older
|
| Once you’re old
|
| That’s all you’ll ever be
|
| Yeah, that’s the beauty to livin' life
|
| Wild and free
|
| It’s just one of those things you gotta be young to see
|
| So grow your hair, get a new tattoo
|
| Quit your job and go to Bonnaroo
|
| Whatever it is you wanna do
|
| Or think or be
|
| Don’t put it off too many years
|
| Cause some of the best stuff disappears
|
| I ain’t old enough to know but I believe
|
| Yeah, there’s some things you gotta be young to see |
