Biography
Early life
Kearney was born on December 1, 1978 and raised in Eugene, Oregon with his two brothers. At South Eugene High School, Kearney was a soccer player.
He attended California State University, Chico in Chico, California on an athletic scholarship and majored in literature, playing soccer until his junior year. Kearney first became interested in music after traveling to Nashville with music producer Robert Marvin. Using a roommate's guitar, he tried covering songs by other artists, but realized he was not very good at it, and began writing his own. Though things were going well for Kearney at school, the partying atmosphere at Chico caught up to him. In an interview, Kearney said, "I guess I lived it up and did what everyone said you should do in college. I discovered the depth of depravity, the bleakness of that lifestyle. It just wasn’t working. I finally started understanding there must be more to life."

Young Dumb And In Love
by: Mat KearneyWell it was me and Burkam running circles round the joint
Trying to jump on the circus trying to get across our point
Yeah, we were young and dumb and looking for a fight
Burning both ends of the candle at both ends of the night
She was walking gracefully like she stepped out of a cocoon
Down through Manhattan Boulevard and First Avenue
With her black frame glasses and her Daisy perfume
I said, "Have we met before?" She said, "No, it's only noon."
Uh oh... to be young and dumb and in love
To be young and dumb and in love
Baby, you got me ten feet off the ground
I'm talking too much, and you don't make a sound
The prettiest face and those rock-a-bye baby browns
All I've waited for's come true
To be young and dumb and in love
With you, you, you, you
Well, we sat in the park grass so scared of the past
Tolling round like blankets, oh, this won't last
Dancing to five spot records with smoke in the air
You could smell it the morning, you could smell it in her hair
Found myself on my knees a little more each night
Is this what I've waited for for all of my life
Put your hand with a feather tattoo on your wrist
On this skinny little white boys fat hustling hips
Uh oh to be young and dumb and in love
To be young and dumb and love
Baby, you got me ten feet off the ground
I'm talking too much and you don't make a sound
The prettiest face and those rock-a-bye baby browns
All I've waited for's come true
To be young and dumb and in love
With you, you, you, you
She's not like any other girl
She's got me crying first, dying first, waiting for the repo man
Well, under the weeping willows and a sea firing flies
With your gypsy necklace and my big brown bow tie
You kissed my lips like I was catching a flight
I said if I'm honest I fell for you that first night
If I'm honest I fell for you that first night
That first night, oh, oh, oh
To be young and dumb and in love
To be young and dumb and in love
To be young and dumb and in love
To be young and dumb and in love
