Only Young Once lyrics

(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
