(I Wanna) Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young

(Faron Young)



I wanna live fast, love hard, die young

And leave a beautiful memory.



I wanna live fast, love hard, die young

And leave a beautiful memory

I don't want slow walkin' or sad singin'

Let 'em have a jubilee

I wanna leave a lot of happy women

A-thinkin' pretty thoughts of me

I wanna live fast, love hard, die young

And leave a beautiful memory.



I got a hot-rod car and a brand new suit

And I really do get around

I got a little black book and the gals look cute

And I know the name of ev'ry spot in town

I wanna find 'em, fool 'em, leave 'em

An' let 'em do the same to me

I wanna live fast, love hard, die young

And leave a beautiful memory.

I wanna live fast, love hard, die young

And leave a beautiful memory

I'm a wampus cat let me grab my hat

And baby come along with me

We're gonna do some fancy steppin'

We're really goin' on a spree

I wanna live fast, love hard, die young

And leave a beautiful memory.



Now you may not approve of the things I do

But it really don't bother me

But don't ever think you can tie me down

I'm gonna stay footloose and fancy free

So jump back, make tracks, move out

An' let the pretty gals at me

I wanna live fast, love hard, die young

And leave a beautiful memory.



Baby I'm gonna give ya one more chance...
