Young Forever

You grew up in that dugout

On a diamond full of dreams

That leather glove was worn out

Passed down through the family

We could see the smile across your face

As you ran from base to base

Just a kid, so much joy

Why'd you have to leave this place?

They say we’re only young once

If you blink, you know you'll miss it

We always wanna grow up

Wasting time just wishing

For that freedom highway, live life my way

Thought that we knew better

They say we’re only young once

Oh, but you'll be young forever

You knew you had to grow up

When your boots first hit the sand

You thought you had to act tough

Show 'еm proof that you were a man

But the greatest thing you ever did

Was step foot on that base?

Just a kid, so much joy

Why'd you have to leave this place?

They say we're only young once

If you blink, you know you'll miss it

We always wanna grow up

Wasting time just wishing

For that freedom highway, live life my way

Thought that we knew better

They say we're only young once

Oh, but you'll be young forever

Oh, they say that all the good die young

That’s why you're up there in heaven

We always wanna grow up

Wasting time just wishing

For that freedom highway, live life my way

Thought that we knew better

Yeah, we're only young once

Oh, but you'll be young forever

Young forever

You didn't have to leave this place
