The second I turned the key
 To that old red Trans-Am
 The sound of all that power
 My first time on the street
 Made me feel like a man

 Nobody could tell me nothin'
 I didn't need anyone's advice
 Never knew anybody's old man who
 Ever got anything right
 With every little taste of freedom
 I felt about ten feet tall
 Back when I was young enough
 Young enough to know it all

 The night I brought my girl
 Home to meet my family
 My dad took me aside
 I can still hear him sayin'
 "Son, you may think it's love
 But she's gonna take you for a ride"

 Nobody could tell me nothin'
 I didn't need anyone's advice
 Never knew anybody's old man who
 Ever got anything right
 With every little taste of freedom
 I felt about ten feet tall
 Back when I was young enough
 Young enough to know it all

 A boy tryin' to be man
 Yeah, he thinks that he can walk before he crawls
 But that's just part of being young
 Young enough to know it all

 Nobody could tell me nothin'
 I didn't need anyone's advice
 Never knew anybody's old man who
 Ever got anything right
 With every little taste of freedom
 I felt about ten feet tall
 Back when I was young enough
 Young enough to know it all
