Mama cries Son don t leave town-

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
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
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
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
When I was a young man
Mama please understand
I m just a young man
I m just a young man
