You Cant Always Be 21

Cheap brown whiskey on the counter
Scrounging for a pack of camel lights

Fresh ID for the bouncer
On a Friday night

Stealing hearts like some kinda desperado
Talking up the stories to your friends

When you're done sleeping in all morning
You're gonna do it all again

When you're young you think you're young forever
Out living wild and free that's how it's supposed to be
You got the rest of your life get your shit together

so light up your nights
have your day in the sun
cause you only live once
and you can't always be 21

Now the good times are just bad habits
And you see goodbye in her eyes

And you're pushing 35, still getting high school high
You don't realize how fast it (all) goes by

When you're young you think you're young forever
Out living wild and free that's how it's supposed to be
Now you're running out of time to get your shit together

Cause every candle burns out
When it's all said and done
You can try all you want
but you can't always be 21

When you're young you think you're young forever
Out living wild and free that's how it's supposed to be
Now's the time to get your shit together

You lit up your nights
Had your day in the sun
Thinking damn that was fun
but you can't always be 21
