Young Man's Town (Album Version)

I wake up one morning
And it's passed you by
You don't know when
And you don't know why
I feel like an old
Memory hangin' round
And man  we've got to face it
It's a young man's town
I knew this day was
Comin' all along
Some why b**ch an' moan
And say they done you wrong
Just teach 'em what you know
And pass it on down
'Cause man  you gotta face it
It's a young man's town
It's a young man's town
Full of young man's dreams
And all God's children
Gotta learn to spread their wings
And 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
An' man  you gotta face it
It's a young man's town
It's a young man's town
Full of young man's dreams
And all God's children
Gotta learn to spread their wings
And 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
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
It's a young man's town
