Young Man

I had no words for you that Saturday

As we both watched our entire worlds change

Your hero fell just as you came of age

And I had no words, but now I know what to say

You're of me, not mine

Walk your own crooked line

I promise you'll be fine

Take the best parts of him

As your own life begins

Leave the bad news behind you

Young man

Take a good look at my life, and

Try to understand

I've done my best, the best I know how to

And my blues aren't your blues

It's up to you

After this storm

There's nothing you can't navigate

Point to the truth

You'll see it's the only way

You're of me, not mine

Perfect in my eyes

You're gonna be alright

Take the best parts of him

As your own life begins

Leave the bad news behind

Young man

Take a good look at my life, and

Try to understand

I've done my best, the best I know how to

And my blues aren't your blues

It's up to you

It's up to you

Young man

Take a good look at my life, and

Try to understand

I've done my best, the best I know how to

And my blues aren't your blues

You'll walk in your own shoes

It's up to you
