Better off Young (2009)

I was a streetwise tramp, a sentimental scamp
Weighed down with a heart like stone
My head was confused, I was wild and bemused
But now my heart has grown
I masqueraded through these places
Up my sleeve I kept my aces
And exploded like a cannonball into flames
In a mixed up world of tough guy scenes and girls
I couldn't find my place
And I was ragged and jagged like a prince of thieves
I kept my thoughts in my head and my heart upon my sleeve
The blogosphere bitches all laughed at me
But I don't give damn and now I finally see

I'm better off young
I'm better off wild
I'm better off young
Man it's sweet when you're a kid in the street
And you've got the whole world at your feet
No

My stubbornness was born
I got lost in that storm of early teenage youth
And I made myself a home with my own comfort zone
While searching for some truth
With this beat up guitar I set my course for the stars
And I swore I'd never come back
Oh, threading on a high wire, burning with desire
Until I faltered and crashed

And I'm better off young
And I'm better off wild
And I'm better off young
Man it's sweet when you're a kid in the street
And you've got the whole world at your feet
No

Whoa, It was nothing but a rat race
One of life's high speed chases
Where there were no rules
Just another youthful story of beer filled glory
And lessons learned from being fools
And I could laugh in the faces of all those proclaimists
Who insist those days were fun
Well maybe they were towards what's to come?

And I'm better off young
And I'm better off wild
And I'm better off young
Man it's sweet when you're a kid in the street
And you've got the whole world at your feet
And I'm better off young
And I'm better off wild
And I'm better off young
Man it's sweet when you're a kid in the street
And you've got the whole world at your feet yeah
