Well, I ain't here 'cause I drive too fast And I'm too young to have a criminal past Some good behavior would be all right But I don't seem to qualify, hah I just stopped for a little fun But I'm guilty till I'm twenty-one I guess I'm doing time for being young
So cut these shackles off of me This kind of suit don't set me free Well, I can't live if I can't ride I want my baby by my side I just stopped for a little fun But I'm guilty till I'm twenty-one I guess I'm doin' time for being young
Now, I can't let the right thing stand in my way Someday, maybe, I'll know better But right now, I'm making them pay
What do I do? Who do I thank? To get me out of this stinkin' tank It's heartbreaking to be this age Always locked in prison of a teenage rage
I was out for a little fun But i'm guilty till I'm twenty-one I guess i'm doing time for being young I must be doing time for being young I don't want to be doing time for being young!
