[Verse 1]

Twenty-one and strong as I can be

I know what freedom means to me

And I can't give a reason why

I should ever want to die

[Verse 2]

Got no cause to be afraid

Or fear that life will ever fade

'Cause as I watch the rising sun

I know that we have just begun

[Verse 3]

I might spend my life upon the road

Just trying to add to what I know

And someday I might settle down

And all my friends will be around

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

They say a man should have a stock and trade

But me, I'll find another way

I believe in getting what you can

And there ain't no stopping this young man

[Verse 5]

Because I'm young and fast as I can be

I know what freedom means to me

And I can't give a reason why

I should ever want to die

[Outro]

Yeah, and I can't give a reason why

I should ever want to die
