Young Man

Young Man - Billy Dean

Mama cries Son don't leave town

Find a girl and settle down

Well I hate to break her heart

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

Want to look forward to looking back on the race I ran

I was a young man

I want to see those seven seas

Climb the highest mountain peak

I want to make it my career

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

Mama please understand

Oh

I'm just a young man

I'm just a young man
