David Crosby Too Young To Die Lyrics

Too Young To Die Lyrics

I recall my so called misspent youth



It seems more worthwhile



Every single day



Cruisin' Van Nuys and acting so uncooth



All the joys of runnin' away







There was no speed limit



On the Nevada state line



The air was red wine



On those top down nights



Just you and me



My old rollarskate



And the common sense 



To know our rights







Sweet old racin' car of mine



Roarin' down that broken line



I never been so much alive



Too fast for comfort



Too low to fly



Too young to die







You say a man can't love a material thing



With aluminum skin



And a cast iron soul



But they never heard your engine sing



Ah there's peace in losing control



"Sticky fingers" turned up real loud



Ah, we were flirtin' with catastrophe



We were doing everything that's not allowed



Life didn't come



With a warranty



For you and me







Sweet old racin' car of mine



Roarin' down that broken line



I never been so much alive



Too fast for comfort



Too low to fly



Too young to die







There is peace in losing control







When I die I don't wanna go to heaven



I just wanna drive my beautiful machine



Up north on some sonoma country road



With Jimmy Dean and Steve McQueen



All the boys be singin', singin'







Sweet old racin' car of mine



Roarin' down that broken line



I never been so much alive



Too fast for comfort



Too low to fly



Too young to die







Just a little bit too young







Too young







To die
