I Was A Young Man Once lyrics

I was a young man once

I ran fast, life was hit and run

I cursed the old men for what they had done

Yea, I was a young man once

Crazy love caught in the night

Left her with child by the morning light

I didn’t care what was wrong or right

Cause I was a young man once

Yea, I raised hell and I had big dreams

I made promises I could not keep

When I hurt love I cut deep

I was a young man once

I’m not a young man now

It ain’t been easy keeping vows

I still do things that ain’t allowed

But I’m not a young man now

I’m not an old man yet

But age is chasing me with much regret

I threw the dice and time won the bet

But I’m not an old man yet

Yea, I raised hell and I had big dreams

I made promises I could not keep

When I hurt love I cut deep

I was a young man once

You’re just an old man once

An old man dreams of what he wants

He wants the world to know that not too long ago

He was a young man once

I was a young man once
