When I Was A Young Man- Country Lyrics

by Charlie
(Alabama)

When I Was A Young Man lyrics

Back when I was 16 years old
I loved that southern rock and roll
ZZ top and The Almond Brother’s Band
I was Living life without a plan
Smoking them left hand cigarettes
Dreaming of pretty girls and corvettes
That was as good as it could get
When I was a young man

When I was a young man
I was wild and free
I could have been anything
I ever wanted to be
There was so much back then
That I didn’t understand
So, I burned the candle from both ends
When I was a young man

Now that all these years have passed by
In what seems like the blink of an eye
There wasn’t much that I didn’t try
I made a lot of good friends
Looking back, would I change a thing
If I could do it all again
Or would I do everything the same?
Like when I was a young man

When I was a young man
I was wild and free
I wouldn’t let anyone
Put chains on me
But now that I’m older
Looking back I can see
A lot of things I didn’t understand
When I was a young man

I can’t stop the clock
Get off the ride and make it stop
naw, I've got to ride it out
til the bitter end
Looking back now I can see
All of the op-por-tun-i-ties
That I let slip through my hand
When I was a young man
