[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
