I wanna drive, down county road nine

And play with the wind in my hand

Pull to the side, to some old country dive

With a local, washed up, cover band.

Flirt with some boy and ask him to dance

Lean in and kiss him, right on the lips

'cause I can.

'cause when you are young

You can lose it all and still have something

And when you find love

You can risk the fall for nothing

One day you'll grow, like everyone

But now you are young.

I wanna wake up, in yesterday's makeup

And make me some breakfast at noon

Always know by the number, the days until summer

'cause I ain't got nothin' to do.

It's an hourglass life

And the days are like sand

And right now I ain't got nothing but time on my hands.

'cause when you are young

You can lose it all and still have something

And when you find love

You can risk the fall for nothing

One day you'll grow, like everyone

But now you are young.

I'll live while I'm young

I'll forgive while I'm young

Yeah, the best is yet to come

So I'll live while I'm young

I'll live (i'll live) while I'm young (while I'm young)

I'll forgive (i'll forgive) while I'm young (while I'm young)

Yeah, the best (yeah, the best) is yet to come

So I'll live (i'll live) while I'm young.

'cause when you are young

You can lose it all and still have something

And when you find love

You can risk the fall for nothing

One day you'll grow, like everyone

But now you are young.
