Ain't the highest you'll ever climb It's the farthest you'll ever see You're as young as you'll ever be You're as young as you'll ever be Might be the ripest on the farm Might be the brightest bulb in the barn Well there's more seeds left to sow Such little time to call your own Such little time My old man was wild as me Tried to teach me better 'round twenty-three Where were you when I was sixteen and all alone? You were high as you'd ever flown Well you fight those demons 'til the end They'll come screamin' against the wind You fight those demons 'til the end They'll come screamin' again and again Again and again Ain't the highest you'll ever climb But it's the farthest you'll ever see You're as young as you'll ever be You're as young as you'll ever be You're as young as you'll ever be
