Text: Faron Young. Live Fast Love Hard Die Young.

I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
And leave a beautiful memory

I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
And leave a beautiful memory
I don't want slow walkin' or sad singin'
Let 'em have a jubilee

I wanna leave a lot of happy women
A thinking pretty thoughts of me
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
And leave a beautiful memory

If you may not approve of the things I do
It really don't bother me
So don't ever think you can tie me down
I'm gonna stay footloose, fancy free

Jump back, make tracks, move out
And let the pretty gals at me
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
And leave a beautiful memory

I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
And leave a beautiful memory
I'm a Wampus cat, let me grab my hat
And baby come along with me

We're gonna do some fancy stepping
We're really goin' on a spree
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
And leave a beautiful memory

If you may not approve of the things I do
It really don't bother me
So don't ever think you can tie me down
I'm gonna stay footloose, fancy free

Jump back, make tracks, move out
And let the pretty gals at me
I wanna live fast, love hard, die young
And leave a beautiful memory
