She said, "we're only young once"

In the back of a chevrolet

"Hey now" on the radio

Ashes in the tray

You can only get drunk once

On this kind of naivety

Who knows how long we're always gonna feel this way?

Time goes by and it'll dull the razor

And we don't know why

Let's worry 'bout that later

'cause if we never do nothing else stupid

If we never do nothing else stupid

At least we know someday

That we can look back and say

We were young once.

We were young once

We were gung-ho, singing in the sun once

Backroads in the wild, on the run once

Cheap thrills, doing things in the wheat fields

We were young, we were young, we were young once

We were young once.

She said let's get a cheap hotel

And make out in the hall

I'll cover up your mouth

And play it cool if my parents call

Let's get lost tonight

Before the world's too small

Someday we're gonna know too much to know it all.

Time goes by and it'll dull the razor

And we don't know why

Let's worry 'bout that later

'cause if we never do nothing else stupid

If we never do nothing else stupid

At least we know someday

We can look back and say

We were young once.

We were young once

We were gung-ho, singing in the sun once

Backroads in the wild on the run once

Cheap thrills, doing things in the wheat fields

We were young, we were young, we were young once

We were young, we were young, we were young once

We were young, we were young, we were young once.

We were young once

We were young once.

We were young once

We were gung-ho, singing in the sun once

Backroads in the wild on the run once

Cheap thrills, doing things in the wheat fields

We were young, we were young, we were young once

We were young, we were young, we were young once

We were young, we were young, we were young once.

We were gung-ho, singing in the sun once

Backroads in the wild, on the run once

Cheap thrills, doing things in the wheat fields

We were young, we were young, we were young once

We were young, we were young, we were young once.
