Lyric Only Young Once
(Paul Nelson/Larry Boone)
Cruisin with my buddies on a Saturday night
Pushin things a little too far
My foot s a little heavy on this candy-red Chevy
I m lookin for a party to start
The old folks say do something worth while
But right now that ain t my style
It might be kinda crazy it might be kinda dumb
But you re only young once
I ve got a little darlin , she s got a daddy
Who don t care much for me
Gonna teach me a lesson, Lord I reckon
If I don t let her be
But I got a ladder and later tonight
If we don t get caught and all goes right
We ll make a little magic til the morning comes
Hey you re only young once
You re only young once so don t think twice
Gotta rock that boat gonna roll those dice
Live it to the limit, have a little fun
Cause you re only young once
When it comes to livin a little on the edge
I can t seem to get enough
I get it from my teacher I hear it from my preacher
How I better straighten up
But they can say just what they will
I m gonna get my kicks until I get my fill
I m chasin down tomorrow til the race is run
Hey you re only young once
You re only young once so don t think twice
Gotta rock that boat gonna roll those dice
Live it to the limit, have a little fun
Cause you re only young once
You re only young once so don t think twice
Gotta rock that boat gonna roll those dice
Live it to the limit, have a little fun
Cause you re only young once
You know you only get this chance one time
Live it while you can
