The Young and the Reckless
She was married to her sister’s ex-husbands best friend
She’s only 21 and there’s no tellin’ where she’s been
She’s out having fun
While her momma keeps her babies
She’s on her 4th margarita and she don’t give a damn
A love song is playing and she’s dancing with a man
Who whispers in her ear I wanna take you home
She’s thinking maybe
The young and the reckless
Lonely and free
Midnights of madness
With nowhere to be
Escaping the sadness
Running and breathless
The young and the reckless
He was sitting at the bar taking a drag
Drunk on whiskey - just out of rehab
Looking for a little love
Hadn’t had none lately
Only 24 - been to jail 3 times
But he don’t care - don’t matter tonight
Cuz he’s dancing with a girl - says I wanna take you home
C’mon baby
The young and the reckless
Lonely and free
Midnights of madness
With nowhere to be
Escaping the sadness
Running and breathless
The young and the reckless
Heart to heart and skin to skin
Who knows what tomorrow holds for them
The young and the reckless
Lonely and free
Midnights of madness
With nowhere to be
Escaping the sadness
Running and breathless
The young and the reckless
