[Verse 1]
I wasn't tryin' to do no harm
I was just tryin' to prove I was tough
What I lacked in years, I made up in guts
I ain't sayin' 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
Yeah, stay young and wild as long as you can

[Verse 2]
I wasn't tryin' 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
Yeah, stay young and wild as long as you can

[Outro]
I might not do it the same
But I'd do it all again
Yeah, stay young and wild as long as you can
As long as you can
