[Verse 1]
I wanna drive, down County Road 9
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

[Chorus]
'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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
'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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
'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
