Emmylou Harris - Young Man's Town lyrics

[Verse 1:] I wake up one morning and it's pa**ed 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**h an' moan and say they done you wrong Just teach 'em what you know and pa** it on down 'Cause man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town [Chorus:] 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 [Verse 2:] 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 [Chorus] [Outro:] 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
