Young and Wild
Embrace the Chaos: Eric Church's Anthem to Youthful Rebellion
Lyrics
I wasn't trying to do no harm
I didn't intend to cause any harm.
I was just trying to prove I was tough
I was merely trying to demonstrate my toughness.
What I lacked in years, I made up in guts
Although young, I compensated with courage.
I ain't saying it was smart
Not claiming it was wise.
Or that I had some master plan
No elaborate plan, just impulsive action.
I just grabbed that bottle and off I ran
Grabbed a bottle and fled.
I got a night in jail and a pissed old man
Ended up in jail for a night, upsetting an older man.
Young and wild like they said we should've never been
Being young and wild against advice.
And still a child filling those nights with grown up sin
Engaging in adult behavior while still a child.
I burned up some cars, burned down some hearts
Destroyed some cars, broke some hearts to assert my manhood.
Just to call myself a man
Actions to define myself as a man.
I might not do it the same
While I might not repeat it, I don't regret it.
But I'd do it all again
Despite changes, I'd go through it again.
Just stay young and wild as long as you can
Advocating staying young and wild.
I wasn't trying to change the world
Not aiming to change the world.
I just wanted to change her mind
Just wanted to change her perspective.
In the backseat of my daddy's ride
In the backseat of my father's car.
No, I didn't have a clue
Without a clear understanding.
No, I didn't have a plan
No specific plan in mind.
Oh, but I didn't care what I didn't have
Indifferent to what I lacked.
Yeah, she made me wanna feel like a man
Her influence made me feel like a man.
Young and wild like they said we should've never been
Reiterating the theme of being young and wild.
And still a child filling those nights with grown up sin
Engaging in adult behavior while still a child.
I burned up some cars, burned down some hearts
Destroyed some cars, broke some hearts to assert my manhood.
Just to call myself a man
Actions to define myself as a man.
I might not do it the same
While I might not repeat it, I don't regret it.
But I'd do it all again
Despite changes, I'd go through it again.
Just stay young and wild as long as you can
Advocating staying young and wild.
I might not do it the same
While I might not repeat it, I don't regret it.
But I'd do it all again
Despite changes, I'd go through it again.
Just stay young and wild as long as you can
Advocating staying young and wild.
As long as you can
Emphasizing the importance of staying young and wild.
Just as long as you can
Encouraging maintaining the youthful spirit.
