Lyrics

Big time sure made me lazy
Young men 'bout to drive me crazy
Guess I'll move on down the line
I've been up but now I'm down
Think I'd better leave this town
'Fore these young men make me lose my mind
Bye bye, young men, I'm on my way
Bye bye, young men, I'm on my way
If things get better I'll be back one day
Had a young man used to call me honey
'Til he spent up all my money
Now he's gone and left me feeling blue
Young men used to keep me guessing
But now I've learned my lesson
Leaving now, that's the thing to do
So long, young men, I gotta go
So long, young men, I gotta go
So long, can't stay with you no more
Young men, hey now, don't you cry
Young men, hey now, don't you cry
Young men, I just gotta say bye bye
I can't eat, can't sleep at night
I almost lost my appetite
I know better, I'm moving on down the line
Going back home while I'm still able
Sit right down at my mama's table
'Fore these young men make me lose my mind
Bye bye, young men, I'm on my way
Bye bye, young men, I'm on my way
If things get better I'll be back someday
Bye bye, young men, I'm on my way
Bye bye, young men, I'm on my way
If things get better I'll be back someday
