[Verse 1]
I wasn't trying to do no harm
I was just trying to prove I was tough
What I lacked in years, I made up in guts
I ain't saying it was smart
Or that I had some master plan
I just grabbed that bottle and off I ran
I got a night in jail and a pissed old man

[Chorus]
Young and wild like they said we should've never been
And still a child filling those nights with grown up sin
I burned up some cars, burned down some hearts
Just to call myself a man
I might not do it the same but I'd do it all again
To stay young and wild as long as you can

[Verse 2]
I wasn't trying to change the world
I just wanted to change her mind
In the backseat of my daddy's ride
No I didn't have a clue
No I didn't have a plan
Oh but I didn't care what I didn't have
Yeah she made me want to feel like a man
[Chorus]
Young and wild like they said we should've never been
And still a child filling those nights with grown up sin
I burned up some cars, burned down some hearts
Just to call myself a man
I might not do it the same but I'd do it all again
To stay young and wild as long as you can
I might not do it the same but I'd do it all again
To stay young and wild as long as you can

[Outro]
As long as you can, just as long as you can
