Words and Music by Bernie Leadon

Twenty one and strong as I can be
I know what freedom means to me
And I can't give a 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 gettin what you can
And there ain't no stoppin' this young man

Cause I'm young and fast as I can be
I know what freedom means to me
And I can't give a reason why
I should ever want to die

No I can't give a reason why
I should ever want to die
