She was young And her daddy didn't warn her She had stars in her eyes And she never gave up on California He was old And not much of a dreamer But he knew what she wanted And there's nothing he could say that would keep her Sometimes, we gotta make up our own minds And say We can sing right along with the thunder We can be who we wanna be And we'll never have to worry or wonder The only thing we gotta believe Is that we'll live while we're young And we'll do it 'cuz we're wild and free He was told He was never gonna make it He was wasting his time and his money On the chances he was taking Sometimes, we gotta make up our own minds And say We can sing right along with the thunder We can be who we wanna be And we'll never have to worry or wonder The only thing we gotta believe Is that we'll live while we're young And we'll do it 'cuz we're wild and free We get no time for a second chance Free We're gonna find our way and never look back We can sing right along with the thunder We can be who we wanna be And we'll never have to worry or wonder The only thing we gotta believe Is that we can't stop now or we're never gonna see Everything you want and everything you need We'll live while we're young And we'll do it 'cuz we're wild and free (Alright) Wild and free Wild and free
