They say youth is wasted on the young, wisdom wasted on the old, seems I’ll be safe so long as I keep doing what I’m told You say it’s clearer in the rearview but you never let me drive, so I look at what’s in front of me and all I see is sky Life, let me go at it Take a swing and miss at least I batted Don’t ask me to be less Don’t ask me to behave I’m gonna go wide open til I lay it down and slide into the grave sideways Sideways I want to fall in love with a pilot, soar across the plains, watch the sunrise with the lions while I sip champagne I’ll put my treasures on a postcard delivered to your door, then fall in love with a sailor and go find some more Don’t ask me to be less Don’t ask me to behave I’m gonna go wide open til I lay it down and slide into the grave sideways Sideways There’s only two ways this could go Die young or die old Don’t ask me to be less Don’t ask me to behave I’m gonna go wide open til I lay it down and slide into the grave sideways Sideways Oh yeah I’ll slide Sideways
