Lyrics

When I was a young man I was light on my feet
Took all I could from winning never learned from defeat
I remember my father telling me you?re not that young don?t waste all your time
But I laughed never paid him no mind
Verse
The years went by so fast I turned around and they were gone
So was my father though the memory carries on
I can still hear him telling me trust my age not your youth
I?ve been around, wouldn?t deny you the truth
Bridge
Well I know you only wanted me to be something more than I was gonna be
When I was a young man that was something that I couldn?t see
Never listened much back then
Wish I could do it over
Wish I could do it again
Verse
I can almost here him saying you?ve got time, get it back on track
You can?t move forward when you?re looking back
Bridge
Now I know you only wanted me to be something more than I was gonna be
When I was a young man that was something that I couldn?t see
Never listened much back then
Wish I could do it over
Wish I could do it again
Verse
Now my life moves quickly, I have a son of my own
Try to teach him all the things that my father passed along
And I think I hear him saying, don?t give up, don?t be like me
Make him something more than you think he will be
Verse
When I was a young man I was light on my feet
Took all I could from winning never learned from defeat
