[Verse 1]
My new purple shoes
Been amazin' the people next door
And my rock 'n roll 45's
Been enragin' the folks on the lower floor
I've got a way with the girls on my block
Try my best be a real individual
And when we go down to Smokies and rock
They line up like it's some kind of ritual
[Chorus]
Ooh, give me a good guitar
And you can say that my hair's a disgrace
Or just find me an open car
I'll make the speed of light outta this place
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 2]
I like the good things in life
But most of the best things ain't free
And this same situation, just cuts like a knife
When you're young
And you're poor, and you're crazy
(Young and you're crazy)
(Young and you're crazy)
(Young and you're crazy)
Young and you're crazy!
[Chorus]
Ooh, give me a good guitar
And you can say that my hair's a disgrace
Or just find me an open car
I'll make the speed of light outta this place
My new purple shoes
Been amazin' the people next door
And my rock 'n roll 45's
Been enragin' the folks on the lower floor
I've got a way with the girls on my block
Try my best be a real individual
And when we go down to Smokies and rock
They line up like it's some kind of ritual
[Chorus]
Ooh, give me a good guitar
And you can say that my hair's a disgrace
Or just find me an open car
I'll make the speed of light outta this place

(Young and you're crazy)
(Young and you're crazy)
Young and you're crazy!
[Chorus]
Ooh, give me a good guitar
And you can say that my hair's a disgrace
Or just find me an open car
I'll make the speed of light outta this place
