Ryan Adams - To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High) Lyrics

I don't care what he did. His music is amazing.

Old School

Lord I got high to this song 🤘👍

Young boy you done me bad I went and did ya wrong
Young boy you done me bad I went and did ya wrong
Then I got high Lord I got high and I got a bone to pick with you

And I'm sure you know its true

Oh one day when you're looking back
You were young and man you were sad
When you're young you get sad
When your young you get sad then you get high

Oh man
Young gal you done me bad and I went and did ya wrong
Young gal you done me bad so I went and did ya wrong
Then I got high
Lord I got high

Now you got a bone to pick with me but I wish you'd let me be
Oh one day when you're looking back
You were young and man you were sad
When you're young you get sad
When your young you get sad then you get high

You get high
Oh the days the rain would fall your way
Oh the days the rain would fall your way
Then you be high cause you got sad
Cause you got sad

Oh man

what a great album! too bad it took a #metoo hassle to find out about it.

Its Dylan's Subterranean homesick blues for christsakes.

Sexual harassment brought me here. Good fucking song

Bridge is garbage

Sounds like '60s-era Bob Dylan. In a good way, of course!

Now listen to Bob Dylan's immortal album Highway 61 Revisited

Not a Bob Dylan copy. Not at all. Have a listen to his Tell Me Mama from the Royal Albert Hall concert.

You're my boy Blue!!

I LOVE YOU ANDREA CANTRELL

Excuse me, your seat belt seems to be broken, what do you recommend I do?

You get one vagina for the rest of your life, good job Frankie, congratulations!

How to make a bridge from the broken and the busted, a bridge over to the sturdy.

Isn't there a Vince Vaughn movie with this song in it? Old school maybe?

I cant help but hear "lost in my mind" by the head and the heart whenever the he sings the chorus even though this song came out 10 years before that one

Moz fan?

Elton John called this the most beautiful album he has ever heard. Let that sink in. His cover of "Oh my sweet Carolina" shows how just much.

LEFTFOURDEAD!!!

As a musician, the beginning is the best! This is totally half our rehearsal and recording....talking about music and pitching each other shit. HA!

Start -finish =AWESOME

Ryan is right. It's on Viva Hate, too.

I just took the restrictor plate off the old red dragon...

Earmuffs....

Young boy you done me bad I went and did ya wrong 
Young boy you done me bad I went and did ya wrong 
Then I got high Lord I got high and I got a bone to pick with you 

And I'm sure you know its true 

Oh one day when you're looking back 
You were young and man you were sad 
When you're young you get sad 
When your young you get sad then you get high 

Oh man 
Young gal you done me bad and I went and did ya wrong 
Young gal you done me bad so I went and did ya wrong 
Then I got high 
Lord I got high 

Now you got a bone to pick with me but I wish you'd let me be 
Oh one day when you're looking back 
You were young and man you were sad 
When you're young you get sad 
When your young you get sad then you get high 

You get high 
Oh the days the rain would fall your way 
Oh the days the rain would fall your way 
Then you be high cause you got sad 
Cause you got sad 

Oh man

Channeling early dylan electric records here (bringing it all back home, highway 61, blonde on blonde)

Dave lost that $5.

You can be old & sad too....trust me...I'm finding out the older I get the list of people I know who have died gets longer & longer

Oooo I love this song <3

Old School braught me here.

Apparently the 35 people that don't like this song have never been young /sad or high

old brought me here

SO. FUCKING. GOOD.

I always listen to this song when I'm in the trust tree trying to figure what kind of panties the waitress at Olive Garden was wearing.

AMERICAN SCHOOL

Funniest movie EVER!

Hella dope track

GreAt song , tragic album cover!

J SHANGHAI it's a nod to The Smiths -Queen is dead album artwork

It's he stole my f*ckin cookies

A new cover of this song:)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeAeEPmKL7o

who would want to hear a cover of this already awesome song?

Soo who was right?

They both were technically. It's on viva hate and bona drag, because bona drag is a compilation. So whoever was saying both was right.

It's on Viva Hate, too. So Ryan was right.

Was anyone brought here because of Old School?

he, he's gotta mouth full of cookies!

He didn't say that

Ryan Adams is a huge influence on my songwriting, I really respect that point of crossover he generates in his music, It would be great if you get the chance or any one in your fanbase would visit my channel and listen to my original songs here..https://youtu.be/zx72qRXMuHw

👍🏻

You won't always be young, you may not always be sad, but you can still get high.

awesome song

OLD SCHOOL

He's got a mouth full of cookies

FUCCCCKKKK YEAAAAAHHH COOOKIIES

Honest to God, I thought this was a sixties song when I first heard it. I am absolutely impressed. love it.

seriously one of the best fucking records i have ever heard.

True love is really hard to find now adays......

Dylan n'est ps loin !!!

old school

i'm young, sad and high. this guy gets it.

chingy737 this comment thread got real dark, real fast.

chingy737 I’m sad as fuck

chingy737 i wrote this about that and you have to believe that i don't get it

chingy737 and i was not young when i did so

True love is hard to find, sometimes you think you have true love and then you catch the early flight home from San Diego and a couple of nude people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded like a goddamn magic show ready to double team your girlfriend...

There were three of us in that bathroom "triple-team"

Hellz ya

Josh Stoss I LOVE YOU DAD

You’re my boy, Blue!

Funny bruh
