To be young, oh to be free 

to be out there on your own with the world on a string 

Clear skies, no rain 

With your eye on the prize, pedal down, in your own lane 

 

Don’t take more than you need 

All it takes is a little, little turn of the key 

Let your soul feel the speed 

When the road is long sometimes you just gotta leave it out on the highway 

          

You’re working hard, paying the price 

nothing good ever comes as easy as you like 

But you’re gaining ground Oh and you’re staying on pace 

for a little piece of heaven, heaven you can taste 

 

Don’t take more than you need 

All it takes is a little, little turn of the key 

Let your soul feel the speed 

When the road is long sometimes you just gotta leave it out on the highway   

 

Oh I know sometimes a heart's is a heavy load 

And before that thing explodes find a fast machine and head out on that open road 

Sometimes you gotta leave some things 

Sometimes you gotta leave some things 

Sometimes you gotta leave some things 

Sometimes you gotta leave some things 

Sometimes you gotta leave some things 

Sometimes you gotta leave some things 

Sometimes you gotta leave some things 

Leave a little something before you disappear 

 

Don’t take more than you need 

All it takes is a little turn of the key 

Let your soul feel the speed 

When the road is long sometimes you just gotta leave it out on the highway
