Lyric I May Be Young

by Dean Friedman


People always tell me, "What s your hurry?
You re moving like your pants they are on fire."
I simply tell them, "Don t you worry,"
While the water in the dam keeps getting higher

And I may be young, but I m not that young.
And with all those years I ve got,
I may have time to kill,
But if you will, I d rather not.

"Kid, I really don t believe your ready. You know you still have got alot to learn."
Me, I don t believe you re ever really ready to cross the kind of bridge you have to burn.

And I may be dumb, but I m not that dumb.
And I ll make my own mistakes.
And if I m wrong, well then damn it I ll be wrong!
That s what it takes.

"Reevaluate your dreams and visions. You ll wind up with a head full of regrets.
You re trying to avoid the big decisions. Tell my why s it such a sin to hedge your bets?"

And I may be slow, but I m not that slow.
And the risks I take, I choose.
Cause unless I last, I ll be doing it all half-asses.
Then what s the use?
