Twenty-one and strong as I can be
I know what freedom means to me
And I can't give the reason why

I should ever want to die
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


I might spend my life upon the road
Just tryin' to add to what I know
Then someday I might settle down

And all my friends will be around

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 stoppin' this young man


Because I'm you and fast as I can be
I know what freedom means to me

And I can't give the reason why,
I should ever want to die
No I can't give the reason why

I should ever want to die
