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
