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
