Lyrics of 'Doin' time for bein' young' by James Intveld

Well, I ain't here 'cause I drive too fast
And I'm too young to have a criminal past
Some good behavior would be all right
But I don't seem to qualify
Im just out for a little fun
But I'm guilty till I'm twenty-one
I guess I'm doing time for being young

So cut these shackles off of me
(Let me go, let me go)
This kind of suit don't set me free
(Set me free, set me free)
Well, I can't live if I can't ride
(Let me ride, let me ride)
And I want my baby by my side
(I want my baby by my side)
Im just out for a little fun
But I'm guilty till I'm twenty-one
I guess I'm doin' time for being young

Now, I can't let the right thing stand in my way
Someday, maybe, I'll know better
But right now I'm making them pay

What do I do, who do I thank?
(What can I do?, What can I do?)
To get me out of this stinking tank
(Stinking tank, stinking tank)
It's heartbreaking to be this age
(Stuck in a cage, stuck in a cage)
Locked in a prison of teenage rage
(Stuck in a cage with teenage rage)

Well, I was out for a little fun
I guess I'm guilty till I'm twenty-one
I must be doing time for being young
(Stuck in a cage with a teenage rage)
I don't want to be doing time for being young
