Verse 1
At SAixteen I Thought Freedom Meant A TaDnk Of GasolAine,
A SeAt Of Car Keys And NoEwhere To Be.
That SpAeedometer Shows It Goes One HunDdred And Ten
TruAst MEe One Day You'll Want To "ReAmember BackE When"
Might Be TDempting To Test It, But That WouldAn't Be Good
Turns Out JAust ’CauEse You Can Don’t Mean You ShoAuld.

Verse 2
In ACollege I Learned Beer Comes 2D4 To A CAase,
And You Can SAtay Out All Night If You’re WEilling To Waste
Half Of SAaturday Morning Swearin’ Off FDriday Night,
LearAned A Little Moderation Makes The Next DaEy Feel Right.
You Can Have ADnother Round, And Yeah, It Might TAaste Good,
But JuAst ’CausEe You Can,  Don’t Mean YoAu Should.

Chorus
Just D’Cause You ECan Don’t Mean You AShould,
You Gotta DLearn When It's REight And When It Ain'At Good
There’s A DTime To Hold Your EGround,
A TiAme ETo Take That F#mShot,
Wisdom’s DKnowing What You Need
And That's Not AElways What You WanAt.

Verse 3
I LeaArned Being Right Ain’t Worth Making SDomebody SmAall,
And HavinAg The Last Word Ain’t Winning MuEch At All.
You Can Say WhAat’s On Your Mind, But That DDon’t Make It WAise,
Sometimes AStrength Is Being Silent And SEwallowing Your Pride.
There'll Be TiDmes You Want To Argue,  Cuz You Feel AMisunderstood
Yeah, JuAst ’Cause You CEan, Don’t Mean You SAhould.

Verse 4
But As I GAot Older, I Learned The OtherD Side To This ASong
You SiAt Back And Think About The DEays Long Gone
That DreamA Sitting On The Shelf Ain’t Gonna DChase ItAself,
And That “SoAmeday” You Keep Waiting For Ain’t Promised To NEo One Else.
Were You ScDared To Fail,  Did You TAhink You Couldn't?
Just ’CaAuse You HaEven’t, Don’t Mean You SAhouldn’t.

Verse 5
Sometimes We PF#mray For Something And We DDon't Even SeAe
Like WhAen A Friend Gave Me A Phone Number When IE Was Only 23
We Think WeF#m Know Better,  And Yet The AnswDer's Right TheAre
I Finally CAalled The Number And Found Out It Was The EAnswer To Prayer
Weeks LDater I Went On That Blind Date,  Can't IAmagine If Didn't
JusAt Cuz YEou Haven't, Don't Mean YouA Shouldn't

Chorus
JusDt ’Cause You CEan Don’t Mean You AShould,
And JuDst ’Cause You HEaven’t Don’t Mean You AShouldn’t.
There’s A TDime To Walk AEway,
A TAime To Make Your MF#move,
A LitDtle Self-Control,
A Little SEomething Left To Prove.
Some FirDes Burn You DEown, SomAe Light EUp Where You’re F#mGoing—
GrowDing Up Is Mostly Learning Which EIs Which Before You Know It.

Final Chorus
JuDst ’Cause You ECan Don’t Mean YAou Should,
GoDtta Know When TooE Far Just AinA't Good
But Don't LDet Fear Or Being LEazy, Keep You FromA SomethiEng That CoF#muld
JusDt ’Cause You Haven’t DonE’t Mean You ShAouldn't
