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 T.V. 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
