Well, I'm 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 I'm just out for a little fun But I'm guilty till I'm twenty- one I guess I'm doin' 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'm just out 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 baby, I'll know better But right now I'm making my pay No, I don't want to be in this zoo I want to be outside lovin' you It's heartbreaking to be this age I was locked in prison of teenage rage Well, I was out for a little fun But I'm guilty till I'm twenty- one I guess, I'm doin' time for being young What do I do, who do I thank To get me out of this stinkin' tank? It's heartbreaking to be this age Well, I was locked in prison of teenage rage I was out for a little fun And I'm guilty till I'm twenty- one I guess, I'm doin' time for being young I was out for a little fun And I'm guilty till I'm twenty- one I guess, I'm doin' time for being young I must be doin' time for bein' young I don't wanna be doin' time for being young
