Lyrics

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
Rockin' with the memories from my past
The lines you see on my face should tell a tale of no regrets
I wanna look forward to lookin' back
On the race I ran
When I was a young man
I want to see those seven seas
And climb the highest mountain peak
I wanna 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, 'cause once I had big plans like you
See, I was a young man too."
When I'm just an old man on a front porch in a chair
Rockin' with the memories from my past
The lines you see on my face should tell a tale of no regrets
I wanna look forward to lookin' back
On the race I ran
Mama, please understand
Oh, I'm just a young man
I'm just a young man
