Nothing But Free Lyrics

I wish that I was 17 checking out the latest scene

I know I could be cool

But 17 is now my child omnipotent and running wild

While me I'm just a fool

Looking back on when I was the young gun in the town

My young at heart remains

But my body let's me down

But I won't frown cause

Growing old's not all that bad

Think about all the good times I had

The young and restless manifest

Can only so long pass the test cause

Growing old you see

Happens so naturally

And leads us on to be

Nothing But Free

I wish that I was 21 - flying high beneath the sun

My dreams reached for the sky

But 21 turned 24 - and before I knew it 20 more

Had flashed before my eyes

Looking back on college days I shiver with delight

Skipping class joints for breakfast

Living for the night

The future so bright - never thinking bout

Growing old's not all that bad

Thinking about all the good times I had

The young and restless manifest

Can only so long pass the test

Cause growing old you see

Happens so naturally

And leads us on to be

Nothing But Free

I wish that I was 99 out of here and feeling fine

My soul the ghost of me

Hanging out with Luke and Ben no body parts to fail again

My joy a birthing sea

Through the mirror dimly now I'm on the other side

Nothing left to fear nothing left to hide

Enjoy your ride and remember that

Growing old's not all that bad

Think about all the good times you had

The young and restless manifest

Can only so long pass the test cause

Growing old you see

Happens so naturally

And leads us on to be

Nothing But Free

Yes - nothing but

Nothing But Free
