INTRO: (twice) 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 (last time - to TAG) 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 BRIDGE: 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 (REPEAT CHORUS) TAG: Mama please understand I'm just a young man I'm just a young man
