Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You said you loved the night
So I went in the sky
And turned off all the lights
I lassoed every star
[Verse 2]
You said you loved the ocean
So I went out and dove in
Put it all out in the open
Gave up my young, wild heart
[PreChorus]
Conquered the world and then some
Captured the golden crown
Still I heard you found
[Chorus]
I heard you found
A young gun from another town
And they're everything I couldn't be
I heard you're down with a
Young gun from another town
And it's killing me softly to see
[Chorus]
Do you ever think of me?
How could I compete with a
A young gun from another town?
[Verse 3]
My soul began to break
From underneath the weight
Of tryna keep the pace
But that road went on and on
[Verse 4]
I could've tried to run
But to stay forever young
Is a war that's never won
And time is just way too strong
[PreChorus]
Oh, what a tragic ending
Mm, mm
Oh, what a hurtful sound
When I heard you found
[Chorus]
I heard you found
A young gun from another town
And they're everything I couldn't be
I heard you're down with a
Young gun from another town
And it's killing me softly to see
[Chorus]
And do you ever think of me?
How could I compete with a
A young gun from another town?
