Something clicked inside my head the second I turned the key
To that old red Trans-Am, the sound of all that power
My first time on the street made me feel like a man

Nobody could tell me nothin', I didn't need anyone's advice
Never knew anybody's old man, who ever got anything right
With every little taste of freedom, I felt about ten feet tall
Back when I was young enough, young enough to know it all

The night I brought my girl home to meet my family
My dad took me aside, I can still hear him sayin'
"Son, you may think it's love but she's gonna take you for a ride"

Nobody could tell me nothin', I didn't need anyone's advice
Never knew anybody's old man, who ever got anything right
With every little taste of freedom, I felt about ten feet tall
Back when I was young enough, young enough to know it all

A boy tryin' to be man, yeah, he thinks that he can walk
Before he crawls but that's just part of being young
Young enough to know it all

Nobody could tell me nothin', I didn't need anyone's advice
Never knew anybody's old man, who ever got anything right
With every little taste of freedom, I felt about ten feet tall
Back when I was young enough, young enough to know it all
