Hazell Dean - Young Man lyrics

rate me

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.

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.

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.

Mama please understand

I'm just a young man.

I'm just a young man...
