Young Once

She said we're only young once

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 nothin' else stupid

If we never do nothin' else stupid

At least we know someday

That we can look back and say

We were young once

We were young once

We were good once singin' 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 nothin' else stupid

If we never do nothin' else stupid

At least we know someday

We can look back and say

We were young once

We were young once

We were good once singin' 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 good once singin' 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 good once singin' 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
