Back when I was younger   Just a blue-eyed restless kid   Hangin' round the radio   In fact that was all I did   Mama said you better son   Take good care of school   Wasn't one they counted on   I was crazy like a dog on the loose      At the age of fifteen   Just another sixties' breed   No one really understood   What music meant to me   Boy you get your education   Daddy said to me   Thought I'd end up as the black sheep   Of the family      Wild as the river   I freaked down the floor   Feeding the fever   As he kicked in the door and said      Too late too late too loud   I can't take it   Too late too late too loud   Just turn it down   And then I rocked him to the ground   Yes I did      Nineteen years and travelling   Got a suitcase in my hand   No money in the bank   You see but I don't complain   Me and the boys are playing hard   Running out the line   We're out there killing time   We're just shaking out some brains      Racing the crowd   Got that rock'n roll feeling   Everyone shouts   But nobody's screaming      Too late too late too loud   I can't take it   Too late too late too loud   Now just turn it down      I can't take it   I can't take it      Too late too late too loud...
