Young Man Blues
You said you wanted to die
Before you got old.
But you were just singing those
Young man blues.
You were so young and fancy free
And tomorrow was somewhere far away.
Now your hair is grey
And you haven’t got anything new to say.
You said you wanted to die
Before you got old.
But now you’re not so arrogant and bold
And you don’t sound so convincing,
Singing those same old
Young man blues.
