Young Man

I was young, I was fit, I wasn't taking any shit

I'd find a way to beat the game and get away with it

Just a fool with a dream full of piss and kerosene

Never thought I'd hit the wall but so it goes it seems

But if that young man could see me now

Would he hang his head or would he be proud

Of the things I've done and the places I've been

Or would he just see a loser living in our parents basement

Lost a fight with my mind

Jumped the gun then fell behind

Tried to bottle love to get me through but things expire in time

Should have known, should have learned

Should have fueled the fire that burned

Left her lying there so many nights, I guess that it's my turn

But if that young man could see me now

Would he hang his head or would he be proud

Of the things I've done and the places I've been

Or would he just see a loser living in our parents basement

I just hope if she should see me now

I'd still turn her head and she'd be proud

Of the man I am and the work I've done

Give me hope for our forever, forgive me for the nights I chose to run

Give me hope for our forever, forgive me for the nights I chose to run
