One day, I′ll slow and way down

Spend my weekends in a swing out on the wraparound

Oh, but these days, I'm on a missionTo get these wild oats out of my system

Yeah, I might stay out all night

I′ve gotta do a little wrong, so I know what's right

I wanna sit out on the porch

Telling stories 'bout my glory days when I′m pushing 80

How am I ever gonna get to be old and wise

If I ain′t ever young and crazy?

Now, I might have to kiss no telling how many lips

Before I ever really figure out what love is

Go through some heartbreaks, wake up with headaches

Don't learn nothing ′til you make a lot of mistakes

How will I know where to draw the line

If I don't cross it a few hundred times?

I wanna sit out on the porch

Telling stories ′bout my glory days when I'm pushing 80

How am I ever gonna get to be old and wise

If I ain′t ever young and crazy?

Yeah, I'm gonna stay out all night

I've gotta do a little wrong, so I know what′s right

I′ve gotta live a lot of life if I'm gonna give good advice

When I′m talking to my grand-babies

How am I ever gonna get to be old and wise

If I ain't ever young and crazy?

Yeah, I wanna sit out on the porch

Telling stories ′bout my glory days when I'm pushing 80

How am I ever gonna get to be old and wise

If I ain′t ever young and crazy?

If I ain't ever young and crazy?

Young and crazy

Young, young and crazy

Young and crazy
