Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A truck older than me pulled up
A guy older than it climbed out
And walked into the bar I's in
Ordered one and he sat down
Next to me and next thing I know
We were shootin' more than Jack
I said, "Buddy, you don't act your age"
And he leaned back and laughed
[Chorus]
And said, "Young man
Don't nobody gotta grow up, man
Don't be afraid to look dumb, man
It's worth it
'Cause only one man's been perfect"
He said, "Young man, take it from an old man
If it ain't good for your soul, tell it where to go, man
Make crazy friends, fall in crazy love
'Cause that's the stuff that keeps you young, man, young, man
If it gets you drunk, man, drunk, man
Soak it in like the sun, man, sun, man
Watch it keep you young, man, young, man"
[Verse 2]
About five before midnight
The woman he called "baby" showed up
The forty years he talked about
Looked like a brand-new love
As he held her tight, she kissed him like
It was only them in the room
And they danced along to Top 40 songs
Like they were still twenty-two
[Chorus]
And said, "Young man
Don't nobody gotta grow up, man
Don't be afraid to look dumb, man
It's worth it
Hell, only one man's been perfect"
He said, "Young man, take it from an old man
If it ain't good for your soul, tell it where to go, man
Make crazy friends, fall in crazy love
'Cause that's the stuff that keeps you young, man, young, man
If it gets you drunk, man, drunk, man
Soak it in like the sun, man, sun, man
Watch it keep you young, man, young, man"
[PostChorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh woah, oh
[Bridge]
I've got good advice from preachers, teachers
And a bunch from my old coach
But the best I ever got was from a seventy-three-year-old
Young man
[Chorus]
He said, "Young man
Don't nobody gotta grow up, man
Don't you be afraid to look dumb, man
It's worth it
Hell, only one man's been perfect"
He said, "Young man, take it from an old man
If it ain't good for your soul, tell it where to go, man
Make crazy friends, fall in crazy love
'Cause that's the stuff that keeps you young, man, young, man
If it gets you drunk, man, drunk, man
Soak it in like the sun, man, sun, man
Watch it keep you young, man, young, man"
[Outro]
Oh
Oh
