[Verse] We ran on summer fire and Mountain Dew Did some dumb things just to prove that we could do 'em Then took off like a BOGO at a shoe sale With our parents' approval Had no plans and even fewer regrets And in a few years They'll get us all yet But in the meantime We'll take what we can get You got any guesses? [Pre-Chorus] I bet [Chorus] We were young and free Burnin' our money and our time like gasoline Dancin' with each other in the city streets Happy as we could be Young and free Pushin' the limit of the innocence in me Losing my mind But you still got a piece Oh Oh [Verse 2] We crashed on hand-me-down couches in the dark Dreamin' up a plan that never made it off the floor Swearin' we'd be legends by the end of fall But we barely made the rent at all Still we laughed like every promise would come true Like the world was waitin' just for me and you And if we ever felt the pressure start to hit We’d shake it off and run right back into it [Pre-Chorus] I bet [Chorus] We were young and free Burnin' our money and our time like gasoline Dancin' with each other in the city streets Happy as we could be Young and free Pushin' the limit of the innocence in me Losing my mind But you still got a piece Oh Oh Young and free [Bridge] Maybe someday we’ll look back and say we knew Every little detour pulled us closer to the truth But for now we’re holdin' tight to what we feel Runnin' on a heartbeat spinnin' like a ferris wheel [Chorus] We were young and free Burnin' our money and our time like gasoline Dancin' with each other in the city streets Happy as we could be Young and free Pushin' the limit of the innocence in me Losing my mind But you still got a piece Oh Oh Young and free
