Young Man lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Young Man lyrics Songwriters: Gardner, Austin; Dean, Billy; 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 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 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" 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 Mama, please understand I m just a young man I m just a young man song lyrics
