Verse 1
At SCixteen I Thought Freedom Meant A TaFnk Of GasolCine,
A SeCt Of Car Keys And NoGwhere To Be.
That SpCeedometer Shows It Goes One HunFdred And Ten
TruCst MGe One Day You'll Want To "ReCmember BackG When"
Might Be TFempting To Test It, But That WouldCn't Be Good
Turns Out JCust ’CauGse You Can Don’t Mean You ShoCuld.

Verse 2
In CCollege I Learned Beer Comes 2F4 To A CCase,
And You Can SCtay Out All Night If You’re WGilling To Waste
Half Of SCaturday Morning Swearin’ Off FFriday Night,
LearCned A Little Moderation Makes The Next DaGy Feel Right.
You Can Have AFnother Round, And Yeah, It Might TCaste Good,
But JuCst ’CausGe You Can,  Don’t Mean YoCu Should.

Chorus
Just F’Cause You GCan Don’t Mean You CShould,
You Gotta FLearn When It's RGight And When It Ain'Ct Good
There’s A FTime To Hold Your GGround,
A TiCme GTo Take That AmShot,
Wisdom’s FKnowing What You Need
And That's Not AGlways What You WanCt.

Verse 3
I LeaCrned Being Right Ain’t Worth Making SFomebody SmCall,
And HavinCg The Last Word Ain’t Winning MuGch At All.
You Can Say WhCat’s On Your Mind, But That DFon’t Make It WCise,
Sometimes CStrength Is Being Silent And SGwallowing Your Pride.
There'll Be TiFmes You Want To Argue,  Cuz You Feel CMisunderstood
Yeah, JuCst ’Cause You CGan, Don’t Mean You SChould.

Verse 4
But As I GCot Older, I Learned The OtherF Side To This CSong
You SiCt Back And Think About The DGays Long Gone
That DreamC Sitting On The Shelf Ain’t Gonna FChase ItCself,
And That “SoCmeday” You Keep Waiting For Ain’t Promised To NGo One Else.
Were You ScFared To Fail,  Did You TChink You Couldn't?
Just ’CaCuse You HaGven’t, Don’t Mean You SChouldn’t.

Verse 5
Sometimes We PAmray For Something And We FDon't Even SCee
Like WhCen A Friend Gave Me A Phone Number When IG Was Only 23
We Think WeAm Know Better,  And Yet The AnsFwer's Right ThCere
I Finally CCalled The Number And Found Out It Was The GAnswer To Prayer
Weeks LFater I Went On That Blind Date,  Can't ICmagine If Didn't
JusCt Cuz YGou Haven't, Don't Mean YouC Shouldn't

Chorus
JusFt ’Cause You CGan Don’t Mean You CShould,
And JuFst ’Cause You HGaven’t Don’t Mean You CShouldn’t.
There’s A TFime To Walk AGway,
A TCime To Make Your MAmove,
A LitFtle Self-Control,
A Little SGomething Left To Prove.
Some FirFes Burn You DGown, SomCe Light GUp Where You’re AmGoing—
GrowFing Up Is Mostly Learning Which GIs Which Before You Know It.

Final Chorus
JuFst ’Cause You GCan Don’t Mean YCou Should,
GoFtta Know When TooG Far Just AinC't Good
But Don't LFet Fear Or Being LGazy, Keep You FromC SomethiGng That CoAmuld
JusFt ’Cause You Haven’t DonG’t Mean You ShCouldn't
