Songtexte Young for a Long Time - Little Texas

You got your ball cap, backwoods, and your wallet chain
And a girlfriend with a new tattoo
A gassed up pickup and you got it all
Figured out at twenty-two
You look at us and say we're out of touch and don't know nothin'
We know you got a thing or two comin'
'Cause there ain't much of nothin' we ain't been through

Don't you know by now we've got this down?
That Friday night fire still hadn't gone out
We've got a rock solid life and a rock and roll state of mind
We were born to run, so sit down son
We'll show you just how it's done
'Cause we've been young for a long time

We learned to walk to the Beatles on the radio
Then we watched a man walk on the moon
And by the time The Boss sang "Born in the USA"
We knew that there was nothin' we couldn't do
Yeah, it was our turn, so we hit the ground runnin'
Got to work, set our sights on bein' somethin'
We ain't slowin' down any time soon

Don't you know by now we've got this down?
That Friday night fire still hadn't gone out
We've got a rock solid life and a rock and roll state of mind
We were born to run, so sit down son
We'll show you just how it's done
'Cause we've been young for a long time

You can bet we ain't checkin' out early
We say fifty is the new thirty
With any luck, someday you'll be this young too

Don't you know by now we've got this down?
That Friday night fire still hadn't gone out
We've got a rock solid life and a rock and roll state of mind
We were born to run, so sit down son
And we'll show you just how it's done
'Cause we've been young for a long, long time
