Verse 1
At SFixteen I Thought Freedom Meant A TaA#nk Of GasoliFne,
A SeFt Of Car Keys And NoCwhere To Be.
That SpFeedometer Shows It Goes One HunA#dred And Ten
TruFst MCe One Day You'll Want To "ReFmember BackC When"
Might Be TA#empting To Test It, But That WouldnF't Be Good
Turns Out JFust ’CauCse You Can Don’t Mean You ShoFuld.

Verse 2
In FCollege I Learned Beer Comes 2A#4 To A CaFse,
And You Can SFtay Out All Night If You’re WCilling To Waste
Half Of SFaturday Morning Swearin’ Off FA#riday Night,
LearFned A Little Moderation Makes The Next DaCy Feel Right.
You Can Have AA#nother Round, And Yeah, It Might TaFste Good,
But JuFst ’CausCe You Can,  Don’t Mean YoFu Should.

Chorus
Just A#’Cause You CCan Don’t Mean You SFhould,
You Gotta A#Learn When It's RiCght And When It Ain'tF Good
There’s A A#Time To Hold Your GCround,
A TiFme CTo Take That DmShot,
Wisdom’s A#Knowing What You Need
And That's Not AClways What You WanFt.

Verse 3
I LeaFrned Being Right Ain’t Worth Making SA#omebody SmaFll,
And HavinFg The Last Word Ain’t Winning MuCch At All.
You Can Say WhFat’s On Your Mind, But That DA#on’t Make It WiFse,
Sometimes FStrength Is Being Silent And SCwallowing Your Pride.
There'll Be TiA#mes You Want To Argue,  Cuz You Feel MFisunderstood
Yeah, JuFst ’Cause You CCan, Don’t Mean You SFhould.

Verse 4
But As I GFot Older, I Learned The OtherA# Side To This SFong
You SiFt Back And Think About The DCays Long Gone
That DreamF Sitting On The Shelf Ain’t Gonna A#Chase ItsFelf,
And That “SoFmeday” You Keep Waiting For Ain’t Promised To NCo One Else.
Were You ScA#ared To Fail,  Did You ThFink You Couldn't?
Just ’CaFuse You HaCven’t, Don’t Mean You SFhouldn’t.

Verse 5
Sometimes We PDmray For Something And We A#Don't Even SeFe
Like WhFen A Friend Gave Me A Phone Number When IC Was Only 23
We Think WeDm Know Better,  And Yet The AnsA#wer's Right TheFre
I Finally CFalled The Number And Found Out It Was The CAnswer To Prayer
Weeks LA#ater I Went On That Blind Date,  Can't ImFagine If Didn't
JusFt Cuz YCou Haven't, Don't Mean YouF Shouldn't

Chorus
JusA#t ’Cause You CaCn Don’t Mean You SFhould,
And JuA#st ’Cause You HaCven’t Don’t Mean You SFhouldn’t.
There’s A TA#ime To Walk AwCay,
A TFime To Make Your MDmove,
A LitA#tle Self-Control,
A Little SComething Left To Prove.
Some FirA#es Burn You DoCwn, SomeF Light UCp Where You’re GDmoing—
GrowA#ing Up Is Mostly Learning Which ICs Which Before You Know It.

Final Chorus
JuA#st ’Cause You CCan Don’t Mean YoFu Should,
GoA#tta Know When Too CFar Just Ain'Ft Good
But Don't LA#et Fear Or Being LaCzy, Keep You From FSomethinCg That CouDmld
JusA#t ’Cause You Haven’t Don’Ct Mean You ShoFuldn't
