Story Behind The Song
Based on an old saying I heard way back in the day, "I'm old enough to know better, but young enough not to care". I thought "that could be a song title" then the rest kind of wrote itself.

Lyrics
Young Enough (Not to Care)
Verse 1-
Took a dare at ten
from my best friend
to stuck my hand right in the flame
Mama started screaming, as if she were in pain
I just had to feel the heat, Know learn that was all about
That's when the pain set in I just had to shout.
Chorus-
I'm old enough to know better
Still playin' Truth or Dare
May not be no go getter,
But I'm young enough not to care
Verse 2-
My first car, sure was a beater,
Held together by a thread.
Headed out on the open road Mama feared I'd come home dead.
Passed the Sherriff doing 90 miles a hour,
he was soon on my tail
My friend said beat him to the county line
we still spent that night in jail.
Bridge-
Now I don't know what I'd do different,
if I could do it again
Probably do all the same old stuff,
multiplied by ten.
Repeat Chorus out
