Lyrics
Young Man
C 1996 GaryMidi Communications
I?ve seen this face before
Not one that I adored
Fool eyes that failed to see
As a young man
I?ve seen this look before
Hot rage you can?t ignor
Fool eyes that failed to see
As a young man
It?s Him... he?s Me...
All the things I never wanted to be
I hope he knows I understand
How hard life forces every hand
And life ain?t quite as simple, quite as simple as it seemed??..
I?ve felt this fear before
I can?t cut it anymore
Fool soul that failed to feel
As a young man
I?ve heard this talk before
Words for sailors, hacks and whores
Fool ears that failed to hear
As a young man
It?s Him... he?s me...
All the things I never wanted to be
I hope he knows I understand
How hard life forces every hand
And life ain?t quite as simple as it seemed??..
Bridge
Son do you think it?s easy??..
Tell me do you think it?s easy
I LOOK INTO THE MIRROR
I SEE THE OLD MAN STARING BACK AT ME
I SEE A LITTLE CLEARER
A LITTLE LATE TO CHANGE MY ELEGY
TELL ME DO YOU THINK IT?S EASY
SONNY DO YOU THINK IT?S EASY???
Guitar solo?..slide????
I?ve seen this face before
But now I know the score
I don?t hate you anymore
As your young man
