Twenty-one and strong as i can be i know what freedom means to me And i can't give the reason why i should ever want to die Got no cause to be afraid Or fear that life will ever fade 'Cause as i watch the rising sun i know that we have just begun
i might spend my life upon the road Just tryin' to add to what i know Then someday i might settle down And all my friends will be around
They say a man should have a stock and trade But me, i'll find another way i believe in getting what you can And there ain't no stoppin' this young man
Because i'm young and fast as i can be i know what freedom means to me And i can't give the reason why, i should ever want to die No i can't give the reason why i should ever want to die
