Music video by Judah & the Lion performing Suit and Jacket. (C) 2017 Cletus the Van Records

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
I ain't trading my youth for no suit and jacket
I ain't giving my freedom for your money and status
So don't say I'm getting older
Cause I'll say it when I do

[Chorus]
Cause everybody I know, everybody I know
Is growing old, is growing old too quickly
And I don't wanna go
So how am I supposed to slow it down so I can figure out who I am?

[Verse 2]
And I ain't trading my dreams for no 401k
And I ain't giving this fire for a cold, cold heart
So don't say I'm getting colder
Cause I'll say it when I do

[Chorus]
Cause everybody I know, everybody I know
Is growing old, is growing old too quickly
And I don't wanna go
So how am I supposed to slow it down so I can figure out who I am?

[Bridge]
Some of us surviving
Some of us just roaming
Some of us just hoping the world will move more slowly
And some of us alive
We're all gonna die one day
Yeah some of us surviving
Some of us just roaming
Some of us just hoping the world will move more slowly
And some of us alive
We're all gonna die one day
Yeah, some of us surviving
Some of us just roaming
Some of us just hoping the world will move more slowly
Some of us alive
We're all gonna die one day

[Chorus]
Cause everybody I know, everybody I know
Is growing old, is growing old too quickly
And I don't wanna go
So how am I supposed to slow it down so I can figure out who I am?

I'm only leaving this comment so after about 1 year when someone likes it I will get reminded of this beautiful song

[benwoodard]

I think this one of the best songs ever written. It’s resonates to so many generations...look at your past, look at your future. Always chase a dream not money.

[jcwynn]

This is the perfect anthem for someone like me in their mid to late 20s. I have no idea where my life is going, but in a few decades, this song will feel really nostalgic.

This song always make me cry. A sweet reminder that no matter what, you should always chase the thing makes you feel alive.

[alphahotelromeo]

This is my neighbor’s favorite song, whether he wants it or not

[EvanHawkphantomhawk]

This song hit me in places I didn't know could be hit.

[FOXAMG]

“We’re all gonna die one day” - live your life people. Wake up everyday and feel happy for no reason.

[elleburns]

I love the screaming at the end. It’s like releasing the pressure everyone puts on you and just figuring yourself out. Everyone says I’m “too young” to experience back pain but everyone says I’m “too old” to just play. Everyone makes it so hard for people to live their own truth, why can’t we just support and live each other? This song gives me hope someday it will happen. I don’t know why

[SlippyLegJones]

My co-worker played this on our way to go camping with our whole group for a night.
It was such a feel-good moment. It was sunset, on the highway, trees on one side, big lake on the other, just amazing.

Idk who I'm writing this comment for.

[moaimachines]

A moment of silence for the people who can't find this song.

[jeremystickle]

This is my favorite new song. Talk about making a 37 year old man cry... Gets me every time. I hope to see this band get big.

[mikearg]

I went through some hard times when this song first came out... ended up spending a few years in prison.. now that I’m free and I heard this song again, it brought back a lot of sad memories but I’m better than that now, and I know how to live a better life. Crazy how music does that

[evanescence]

This song speaks to me. Everyones telling me I'm too old to be acting the way i am. But how i see it, im growing in my own way and everyone i know is growing old and leaving me behind.
I'm not growing by normal standards, I'm lost but that's ok.
I guess i don't want to trade in my youth just yet.

[lureissmith]

This is the soundtrack to all of our lives, your parents lives, your grand parents too.

[flapmajors]

54 years old here and this one puts a fire in my belly! Good tune!

"I ain't trading my youth -
for no suit and jacket.
I ain't giving my freedom -
for your money and status."

[alexsmith]

This song really speaks to me in an abstract way... I dropped out of college after 1 semester and hated myself for doin so, Iserved and bartended to get by and enjoyed it but one day I was intrigued about the idea of real estate and owning properties providing cash flow. Now 6 months later I own 5 properties, 4 rentals and a house we are flipping and know dropping out of college was the best thing I did. College is for some people but not everyone and I can fully say I am happy every day and loving life by not taking the path society recommends to most. You must do what you truely believe is the best path for you as a person. Just don't be shitty and try to screw people for your benefit. You get far more from providing value to others! Thanks for reading and hoped you git something from this comment!

[timothyhermanto]

The more I listen to this song, the more I realize that I don't wanna grow up. Life scares me. I wanna be a kid forever.

[Honderp]

This song made me go on a sabbatical for the winter of 2018. I took 4 months off of work and came back a better person. Thank you.
