This Rhett Akins, Ashley Gorley and Shane McAnally song is about enjoying life - even the wild part of it. Living well is really important to the singer, so he truly believes in what the song stands for. "I've always had a hard time taking advice from people who I don't feel like it's coming from a place of real experience," he told Taste of Country Nights host Sam Alex. "That's what this song is about." Ballard's high-energy shows include him jumping off the stage, which sometimes results in injury. "[The song is] about having some stories like this to tell your kids, like, 'Hey, you probably shouldn't jump off the stage because I did one time and got messed up.' But that's all part of being young, is living your life and that's what this song is about," the singer said. "It's a message that says, 'Get out there and make some life. Make some experiences. You might get a little beat up along the way but it'll give you some good stories.'"
One day, I'll slow it way down Spend my weekends in a swing out on the wrap-around Oh but these days, I'm on a mission To get these wild oats out of my system Yeah I might stay out all night I gotta do a little wrong so I know what's right I wanna sit out on the porch telling stories bout my glory days When I'm pushing eighty How am I ever gonna get to be old and wise If I ain't ever young and crazy? Now I might have to kiss, no tellin' how many lips Before I ever really figure out what love is Go through some heartbreaks, wake up with headaches Don't learn nothin' til you make a lot of mistakes How will I know where to draw the line If don't cross it a few hundred times I wanna sit out on the porch telling stories bout my glory days When I'm pushing eighty How am I ever gonna get to be old and wise If I ain't ever young and crazy? Yeah I'm gonna stay out all night I'm gonna do a little wrong so I know what's right I gotta live a lot of life if I'm gonna give good advice When I'm talking to my grand-babies How am I ever gonna get to be old and wise If I ain't ever young and crazy? Yeah, I wanna sit out on the porch Telling stories bout my glory days When I'm pushing eighty How am I ever gonna get to be old and wise If I ain't ever young and crazy? If I ain't ever young and crazy? Young and crazy (young) Young, young and crazy Young and crazy
