David Crosby - Too Young To Die Lyrics
I recall my so called misspent youth
It seems more worthwhile
Every single day
Cruisin' Van Nuys and acting so uncooth
All the joys of runnin' away
There was no speed limit
On the Nevada state line
The air was red wine
On those top down nights
Just you and me
My old rollerskate
And the common sense
To know our rights
Sweet old racin' car of mine
I never been so much alive
Too fast for comfort
Too low to fly
Too young to die
You say a man can't love a material thing
With aluminum skin
And a cast iron soul
But they never heard your engine sing
Ah there's peace in losing control
"Sticky fingers" turned up real loud
Ah, we were flirtin' with catastrophe
We were doing everything that's not allowed
Life didn't come
With a warranty
For you and me
Sweet old racin' car of mine
Roarin' down that broken line
I never been so much alive
Too fast for comfort
Too low to fly
Too young to die
There is peace in losing control
When I die I don't wanna go to heaven
I just wanna drive my beautiful machine
Up north on some sonoma country road
With Jimmy Dean and Steve McQueen
All the boys be singin', singin'
Sweet old racin' car of mine
Roarin' down that broken line
I never been so much alive
Too fast for comfort
Too low to fly
Too young to die
Just a little bit too young
Too young
To die

David Crosby Too Young To Die Comments
I am a big fan of David Crosby, but this pales in comparison to Jimmy Webb's original recording which incidentally, David Crosby sang backup harmony along with Don Henley. This sounds hollow and just plows along without the exquisite phrasing of Jimmy Webb and song that came straight from his own heart and experience.
David Crosby does Jimmy Webb Justice. 1970 Chevrolet SS 396.
ever since his days with the Byrds, David Crosby has been blowing me away with his way with a lyric, and his genius as a singer; i am 72 and i have lived more than i got left; tonight i am thinking about where all the time has gotten to so quickly: i have lived a charmed life, blessed beyond my ability to explain. i hope i have another ten or even twenty years. music keeps me feeling as though it is still 1965, and i have great joy because of David's soulfull rendering of my favorite Jimmy Webb song
I'm with you, Don! Love you, brother!
This is about Jimmy's one of a kind Shelby Cobra called the Super Snake. There were two built by Shelby. Twin supercharged, Lincoln transmission, serial number CSX 3015. Sold for 5.1 milion in 2015.
love David Crosby--iconoclast with amazing harmonic/solo sound
the first lyric does it for me, although I lived a very modest "misspent youth"! Women out there, Vote!!!! We have but one future on this planet :-)
A masterpiece! ☺
Simplesmente demais!
