Mama cries Son, don't leave town
|
Find a girl and settle down
|
Well I hate to break her heart
|
But that's not in the cards while I'm a young man
|
|
She says I could find a job
|
In the fields or on the docks
|
But I've always had a dream
|
To see all I can see while I'm a young man
|
|
CHORUS:
|
When I'm just an old man on a front porch in a chair
|
Rocking with the memories from my past
|
The lines you see on my face should tell a tale of no regrets
|
I want to look forward to looking back on the race I ran
|
When I was a young man
|
|
I want to see those seven seas
|
Climb the highest mountain peak
|
Make it my career
|
To make the most of every year while I'm a young man
|
|
BRIDGE:
|
Daddy says young man
|
I know you have to stand on your own you can't sit at home
|
He says I understand, once I had big plans like you
|
I was a young man too
|
|
(REPEAT CHORUS)
|
|
TAG:
|
Mama please understand
|
I'm just a young man
|
I'm just a young man
|
