Too Young To Die Lyrics - David Crosby

I recall my so called misspent youth 

It seems more worthwhile every single day 

Cruisin' Van Nuys and acting so uncouth 

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 roller-skate 

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 want to go to Heaven 

I just want to drive my beautiful machine 

Up north on some Sonoma County 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 felt so much alive 

Too fast for comfort 

Is too low to fly 

Too young to die 

Just a little bit too young 

Too young 

To die
