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
