Too Young to Die

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I recall my so-called misspent youth It seems more worthwhile every single day Cruisin' Van Nuys and acting so uncouth All the joys of runnin' away No speed limit on the Nevada state line The air was red wine on those top-down nights Just you and me and my old rollerskate And the common sense to know our rights We knew our rights then [Chorus] Sweet old racin' car of mine Roarin' down the broken line, yeah I never been so much alive, no Too fast for comfort Too low to fly Too young to die [Verse 2] They say a man can't love a material thing With aluminum skin and a cast iron soul Well they never heard your engine sing There is peace in losin' control, oh yes there is With "Sticky Fingers" turned up real loud Oh, we flirted with catastrophe We were doin' everything that's not allowed Life didn't come with a warranty For you and me then [Chorus] Sweet old racin' car of mine Roarin' down the broken line, yeah I never been so much alive Too fast for comfort Too low to fly Too young, just too young [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] There is peace in losin' control, oh yes there is And when I die I don't wanna go to heaven I just wanna drive my beautiful machine Up north on some Sonoma Country road With Jimmy Dean and Steve McQueen All the boys be singin', singin [Chorus] Sweet old racin' car of mine Roarin' down the broken line, yeah I never been so much alive, no Too fast for comfort Too low to fly Too young to die [Outro] We were just too young to die Too young to die We were just too young to die
