Only Young Once - River Road

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
