Lyrics:

1, 2, 2 2 2.....

I'm a young man baby

And a young man I must be

I've got to live young baby

And love young baby

And see what I can see

So remember

That you can't tie a mustang down

No you can't tie a mustang down

And you can't keep an ocean in a cup

Whoa no you can't keep a mustang down

Or up

Now I've only got one heart baby

And I'm gonna keep it here

Oh by the way that I hold ya

You might think I love ya

But I never said I did

So don't impose your will upon me

I can't stand the sound of chains

Oh don't try to chain me, or blame me, or name me

Oh baby, ease up on the reins

And remember

That you can't tie a mustang down

No you can't tie a mustang down

Oh you can't keep an ocean in a cup

Whoa no you can't keep a mustang down

Or up

I'm a young man baby

And a young man I must be

I've got to live young baby

And love young baby

And see what I can see

So remember

That you can't tie a mustang down

No you can't tie a mustang down

And you can't keep an ocean in a cup

Whoa no you can't keep a mustang down

Or up

You can't...
