The truth is solid proof, there’s no foolin’ you,
I don’t dress the same.
Me and who you say I was yesterday
have gone our separate ways.
Left my livin’ fast somewhere in the past
cuz that’s for chasin’ cars.
Turns out rocky starts lead to broken hearts
and goin’ way too far.
I know I used to be crazy,
I know I used to be fun,
you say I used to be wild,
I say I used to be young.
You tell me time has done changed me,
that’s fine – I’ve had a good run –
I know I used to be crazy,
that’s cuz I used to be young.
Time to let it out, it’s not worth cryin’ ’bout,
the things you can’t erase.
Like tattoos and regrets, words I never meant
and ones that got away.
Left my livin’ fast somewhere in the past
and took another road.
Turns out crowded rooms empty out as soon,
there’s somewhere else to go,
oh ohh…
I know I used to be crazy,
I know I used to be fun,
you say I used to be wild,
I say I used to be young.
You tell me time has done changed me,
that’s fine – I’ve had a good run –
I know I used to be crazy,
that’s cuz I used to be young.
Oh oh, ohhh,
oh oh, ohhh,
oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh,
yeh…
whoa ohh oh, whoa ohh oh,
oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh…
I know I used to be crazy,
messed up, but wow, was it fun.
I know I used to be wild,
that’s cuz I used to be young.
Those wasted nights are not wasted,
I remember every one,
I know I used to be crazy,
that’s cuz I used to be young.
You tell me time has done changed me,
that’s fine – I’ve had a good run –
I know I used to be crazy,
that’s cuz I used to be young.
