Bobby Bare - 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

    I have listened to this song over and over and over. It's simple, but it's great. This is
    Bobby Bare at his absolute finest. This song should be played on the radio as a single. It should be a chart topper. It's just that good.

    R.... W....

    It sure could if we had people left who appreciate really great music and top of the line singers except hip hop crap they play now from people who can't sing and dummys who think they can.
