Verse 1
At SDixteen I Thought Freedom Meant A TaGnk Of GasolDine,
A SeDt Of Car Keys And NoAwhere To Be.
That SpDeedometer Shows It Goes One HunGdred And Ten
TruDst MAe One Day You'll Want To "ReDmember BackA When"
Might Be TGempting To Test It, But That WouldDn't Be Good
Turns Out JDust ’CauAse You Can Don’t Mean You ShoDuld.

Verse 2
In DCollege I Learned Beer Comes 2G4 To A CDase,
And You Can SDtay Out All Night If You’re WAilling To Waste
Half Of SDaturday Morning Swearin’ Off FGriday Night,
LearDned A Little Moderation Makes The Next DaAy Feel Right.
You Can Have AGnother Round, And Yeah, It Might TDaste Good,
But JuDst ’CausAe You Can,  Don’t Mean YoDu Should.

Chorus
Just G’Cause You ACan Don’t Mean You DShould,
You Gotta GLearn When It's RAight And When It Ain'Dt Good
There’s A GTime To Hold Your AGround,
A TiDme ATo Take That BmShot,
Wisdom’s GKnowing What You Need
And That's Not AAlways What You WanDt.

Verse 3
I LeaDrned Being Right Ain’t Worth Making SGomebody SmDall,
And HavinDg The Last Word Ain’t Winning MuAch At All.
You Can Say WhDat’s On Your Mind, But That DGon’t Make It WDise,
Sometimes DStrength Is Being Silent And SAwallowing Your Pride.
There'll Be TiGmes You Want To Argue,  Cuz You Feel DMisunderstood
Yeah, JuDst ’Cause You CAan, Don’t Mean You SDhould.

Verse 4
But As I GDot Older, I Learned The OtherG Side To This DSong
You SiDt Back And Think About The DAays Long Gone
That DreamD Sitting On The Shelf Ain’t Gonna GChase ItDself,
And That “SoDmeday” You Keep Waiting For Ain’t Promised To NAo One Else.
Were You ScGared To Fail,  Did You TDhink You Couldn't?
Just ’CaDuse You HaAven’t, Don’t Mean You SDhouldn’t.

Verse 5
Sometimes We PBmray For Something And We GDon't Even SDee
Like WhDen A Friend Gave Me A Phone Number When IA Was Only 23
We Think WeBm Know Better,  And Yet The AnsGwer's Right ThDere
I Finally CDalled The Number And Found Out It Was The AAnswer To Prayer
Weeks LGater I Went On That Blind Date,  Can't IDmagine If Didn't
JusDt Cuz YAou Haven't, Don't Mean YouD Shouldn't

Chorus
JusGt ’Cause You CAan Don’t Mean You DShould,
And JuGst ’Cause You HAaven’t Don’t Mean You DShouldn’t.
There’s A TGime To Walk AAway,
A TDime To Make Your MBmove,
A LitGtle Self-Control,
A Little SAomething Left To Prove.
Some FirGes Burn You DAown, SomDe Light AUp Where You’re BmGoing—
GrowGing Up Is Mostly Learning Which AIs Which Before You Know It.

Final Chorus
JuGst ’Cause You ACan Don’t Mean YDou Should,
GoGtta Know When TooA Far Just AinD't Good
But Don't LGet Fear Or Being LAazy, Keep You FromD SomethiAng That CoBmuld
JusGt ’Cause You Haven’t DonA’t Mean You ShDouldn't
