Drive on the Young Side of Life
Navigating Life's Endless Corridor: Embrace Youthful Wisdom
Lyrics
Your mother she protected you
Your mother protected you, looked out for you.
And softened every blow
She softened the impact of difficulties or challenges you faced.
And brought you up to fear the worst
You were raised to anticipate the worst and to be cautious in your actions.
To be careful as you go
The upbringing emphasized being careful as you navigate through life.
And the learned educators
Educators provide information, possibly in a repetitive or frugal manner.
With drip-feed (thrifty?) facts to fill
Facts are delivered gradually to fill your mind with reason.
You up to here with reason
You are inundated with well-intentioned but excessive information.
Well-meaning overkill
An overload of good intentions that may be too much.
If you find yourself a-growing
If you feel yourself aging prematurely,
to be old before your time
Take action to avoid becoming old before your time.
Get off the endless corridor
Escape the monotonous routine of life.
Set your soul out on the line
Express your true self boldly.
Drive on the young side of life
Embrace the youthful and adventurous aspects of life.
When the pressure pains are building
When faced with pressure and challenges,
And you're forced to join the crush
Don't succumb to the crowd; resist conformity.
In the race to mediocrity
Avoid getting caught up in the race towards mediocrity.
So respectable and plush
Avoid becoming too comfortable and conforming to societal expectations.
And while the child within is raging
While the inner child rebels and wants to break free,
And threatens to break out
Resist the urge to conform; break free from societal norms.
Get off the endless corridor
Escape the routine and predictability of life.
Make a timely turnabout
Make a timely change in direction.
Drive on the young side of life.
Emphasizes the importance of embracing youthfulness in life.
