When You're Young

When I was seventeen they said "you're too young" Had a world full of ambition - was a loaded gun I would party almost every night Feel alive when I hold on - dancing in the moonlight Ask your mama can I stay around I can sleep on the floor and I won't make a sound There are many things they shouldn't know We can sneak in together till it's time to go Sleep in the morning Then we're heading into the sun Baby we don't know it yet But we never had so much fun fun fun Sleep in the morning When you're young I got a friend and we can call him up Got a 4 man sleeper and a pickup truck His ol' lady's kinda gipsy and free We can ride in the back - just you and me Maybe laters we can see a show I've got some back stage tickets from my cousin Joe Tell your mamma it will be alright We can sleep on the beach Under the stars tonight Sleep in the morning Then we're heading into the sun Baby we don't know it yet But we never had so much fun fun fun Sleep in the morning When you're young Oooo when you're young When you're young Run down the alley, kicking our shoes, knocking on doors And girl it feels so right We could be 17 for the rest of our lives Sleep in the morning when you're young Ooooo... When you're young...
