Die Young

I've been burning the candle Drinking the handle 'til it's dry I've been standing in green grass Looking for love on other side I have tripped over my feet 'Cause I was running on my pride Chipped my teeth and bruised my ego Just to find I don't wanna die young I just wanna get high Settle down and grow up With somebody I love Watch the years go by I don't want all the power I just wanna survive I don't wanna die young I've been running the backroads Tokyo to Tennessee I've been tending the life I've always wanted from a seed Will my gardеn grow or will it all get Cut off at the knees By some catastrophe That's lurking in the weeds? I don't wanna die young (count me out of the gold rush) I just wanna get high (someone pass me a light) Settle down and grow up With somebody I love Watch the years go by (day by day, they go by) I don't want all the power (don't want more than I've got) I just wanna survive I don't wanna die young I don't wanna die young I don't wanna die young I don't wanna die I don't wanna die young Count me out of the gold rush Someone pass me a light Day by day, they go by Don't want more than I've got I just wanna survive I don't wanna die young
