Intro: Got a lot of memories tied up in this place So much time spent in so little space What looked like the world through the eyes of a child Kind of closes in on you after a while It's a place to grow up and a place to grow old You keep your mouth shut and do as your told I told mama the day that I ran This ain't no place for an angry young man (Repeat chords for all verses) Chorus Mama if you could see me right now You'd be sure you failed me some how Mama you never could understand This ain"t no place for an angry young man A cheap hotel a long way from my home So many people make you feel so alone Dreams die easy out here on the streets And hearts grow cold in the city heat I ain't never been the patient kind I got to live like I please or die trying At a filling station with a gun in my hand The only way for an angry young man (Repeat Chorur) Got a lot of memories tied up in this place Tonight they're staring me right in the face A lonely grave on the outskirts of town It's three in the morning and no ones around Just like a ghost I come out of the night But I'll be gone by the morning light Mama I hope you understand This ain't no place for an angry young man Repeat chorus
