YOUNG MAN OLD

Young Man Old


DIGGIN’ A DITCH IN THE SUMMER HEAT
BECOMING A DADDY WHEN YOUR 19
PRAYING FOR RAIN, SO THE CROPS WILL GROW
JUST A FEW THINGS, MAKE A YOUNG MAN OLD

BREAKIN’ YOUR BACK, SAVING YOUR CHANGE
COUPLE MONTHS PAY FOR A DIAMOND RING
HOPING FOR YES, BUT YOU’LL NEVER KNOW
JUST A FEW THINGS MAKE A YOUNG MAN OLD

CHORUS
LIKE WORKIN’ HARD TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON
AND WATCHING YOUR BABYS GROWING,
KNOWING ONE DAY THEY’LL BE GONE
DOIN’ IT ALL, WITH A SMILE ON
AND BEGGING GOD FOR TIME TO JUST MOVE SLOW
LEARNING TO LET IT GO
JUST A FEW THING MAKE A YOUNG MAN OLD

YOU CAN SETTLE DOWN
OR LIVE WILD AND FREE
GROWIN’ UP SURE CHANGES THINGS
YOU GOTTA WATCH YOUR STEP
WHERE LITTLE FEAT FOLLOW
JUST A FEW THINGS, MAKE A YOUNG MAN OLD

CHORUS
LIKE WORKIN’ HARD TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON
AND WATCHING YOUR BABYS GROWING,
KNOWING ONE DAY THEY’LL BE GONE
DOIN’ IT ALL, WITH A SMILE ON
AND BEGGING GOD FOR TIME TO JUST MOVE SLOW
LEARNING TO LET IT GO
JUST A FEW THING MAKE A YOUNG MAN OLD

JUST A FEW THINGS, MAKE A YOUNG MAN OLD
