Young Man

I had no words for you that Saturday As we both watched our entire worlds change Your hero fell just as you came of age And I had no words, but now I know what to say You're of me, not mine Walk your own crooked line I promise you'll be fine Take the best parts of him As your own life begins Leave the bad news behind you Young man Take a good look at my life, and Try to understand I've done my best, the best I know how to And my blues aren't your blues It's up to you After this storm There's nothing you can't navigate Point to the truth You'll see it's the only way You're of me, not mine Perfect in my eyes You're gonna be alright Take the best parts of him As your own life begins Leave the bad news behind Young man Take a good look at my life, and Try to understand I've done my best, the best I know how to And my blues aren't your blues It's up to you It's up to you Young man Take a good look at my life, and Try to understand I've done my best, the best I know how to And my blues aren't your blues You'll walk in your own shoes It's up to you
