"Young And Wild" lyrics

"Young And Wild"

Wasn't too fond of that high school
Except for the Friday night lights
The parties and the boats
I'd sit on my tailgate and stare up at the stars
Just thinking how I was gonna leave my mom
And college was what everyone seemed to be talking about
Me, I was always a-workin' on playin' my music too loud
I got around just the same
Soon everywhere I went, everybody knew my name

I said, you're the one sittin' there
And I'm about to start fuckin' life
Half and a bottle of Jack and a little bit of Marijuana
Takin' everyone down to the creek
The Jacks and the Hippies, the cool kids and their friends
Never too far from that riverside
Without a hesitation livin' young and wild

Yet I still go back to my home, fishin' home
'Cause back there in the middle of the flood zone
Somewhere alone that I don't feel in love
Ain't exactly what them storybooks tell you are
I'm the son of a workin' man
Sooner or later, I'll inherit a car and a stain
I've been tryin' to grow up too fast since my life began
Now I'm just trying to stay as young for as long as I can

So I'll run to that district's parking lot
They have a bottle of Jack and a little bit of Marijuana
They're taking everyone down to the creek
The Jacks and the Hippies, the cool kids and their friends
Never too far from that riverside
Without a hesitation livin' young and wild
