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 And 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 What do I do, who do I thank? To gettin' me out of this stinkin' tank It's heartbreaking to be this age 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 I don't wanna be doin' time for being young
