I wake up one morning and it's passed you by
Don't know when and you don't know why
I feel like an old memory hangin' round
An' man, you've got to face it
It's a young man's town

I knew this day was comin' all along
Some why bitch an' moan and say they done you wrong
Just teach 'em what you know an' 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
An' all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings
An' sometimes you gotta stand back
An' 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
An' all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings
An' sometimes you gotta stand back
An' watch 'em burn it to the ground
An' even though you built it
It's a young man's town

Sometimes you gotta stand back
An' 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
