You wake up one morning and it's passed you by.
|
You don't know when and you don't know why.
|
You feel like an old memory hangin' round.
|
And man, you've gotta face it, it's a young man's town.
|
You knew this day was comin' all along.
|
So why bitch and moan and say they done you wrong?
|
Just teach 'em what you know an' pass it on down,
|
'Cause man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town.
|
|
CHORUS
|
It's a young man's town,
|
Full of young man's dreams.
|
And all God's children gotta learn to spread
|
their wings.
|
Sometimes you gotta stand back,
|
And watch 'em burn it to the ground,
|
Even though you built it, it's a young man's
|
town.
|
|
You always seem to be the last to know.
|
Man, that's just the way that the story goes.
|
There's nothin' you can do when the fields have turned brown.
|
Man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town.
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Sometimes you gotta stand back,
|
And watch 'em burn it to the ground.
|
Even though you built it, it's a young man's town.
