When I was seventeen they said "you're too young"
Had a world full of ambition - was a loaded gun
I would party almost every night
Feel alive when I hold on - dancing in the moonlight
Ask your mama can I stay around
I can sleep on the floor and I won't make a sound
There are many things they shouldn't know
We can sneak in together till it's time to go
Sleep in the morning
Then we're heading into the sun
Baby we don't know it yet
But we never had so much fun fun fun
Sleep in the morning
When you're young
I got a friend and we can call him up
Got a 4 man sleeper and a pickup truck
His ol' lady's kinda gipsy and free
We can ride in the back - just you and me
Maybe laters we can see a show
I've got some back stage tickets from my cousin Joe
Tell your mamma it will be alright
We can sleep on the beach
Under the stars tonight
Sleep in the morning
Then we're heading into the sun
Baby we don't know it yet
But we never had so much fun fun fun
Sleep in the morning
When you're young
Oooo when you're young
When you're young
Run down the alley, kicking our shoes, knocking on doors
And girl it feels so right
We could be 17 for the rest of our lives
Sleep in the morning when you're young
Ooooo...
When you're young...
