young to see

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 tv

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
