To Be Young (Is to Be Sad, Is to Be High) Songtext
von Ryan Adams & the Cardinals

One, two, one, whee

Young boy, done me bad, went and did him wrong
Young boy, done me bad, I went and did him wrong
And I got high, Lord, I got high
Now I got a bone to pick with you
And I′m sure you know it's true

Oh, one day when you′re looking back
You were young and man, you were sad
When you're young, you get sad
When you're young, you get sad
Then you get high
Oh, man


Young girl done you bad, and I went and did you wrong
Young girl you done me bad, so I went and did you wrong
And I got high, Lord, I got high
Now you got a bone to pick with me but I wish you′d let me be

Oh, one day when you′re looking back
You were young and man, you were sad
When you're young, you get sad
When you′re young you get sad
Then you get high, you get high

Ooh, the days the rain would fall your way
Ooh, the days the rain would fall your way

Then you'd be high, ′cause you got sad
'Cause you got sad
Oh, man
Oh, man
Oh, man
Oh, man
