beat -up couch, an old TV
A little run -down, a little bit small
But to me it was the Taj Mahal
you gotta be young to see
Friday night, what the hell, let's go
Just like that we were on a roll
Three best friends, the radio,
Just to watch the sun rise on the beach
you gotta be young to see
there's plenty of time to get older
that's all you'll ever be
Yeah, there's a beauty in
livin' life wild and free
It's just one of those things
you gotta be young to see
Well, I left home around 22
There was nothin' they could do,
So I packed a bag 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
there's plenty of time to get older
Watch a road, that's all you'll ever be
Yeah, there's a beauty in living
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 want to do,
Don't put it off too many years
Some of the best stuff disappears
I ain't old enough to know,
Yeah, there's some things
you gotta be young to see
there's plenty of time to get older
that's all you'll ever be
Yeah, there's a beauty in livin'
It's just one of those things
Yeah, there's a beauty in
livin' life wild and free
It's just one of those things
you gotta be untold to see
