Lyrics Eric Church

Eric Church

Young and Wild

I wasn't trying to do no harm

I was just trying to prove I was tough

What I lacked in years I made up in guts

I ain't saying 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

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

To stay young and wild as long as you can

I wasn't trying 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 wanna feel like a man

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

To stay young and wild as long as you can

I might not do it the same but I'd do it all again

To stay young and wild as long as you can

As long as you can, just as long as you can
