Lyrics Young Man's Town - Vince Gill

You wake up one morning and it's passed you by
You don't know when and you don't know why
You feel like an old memory hangin' round
And man, you've gotta face it, it's a young man's town

You knew this day was comin' all along
So why bitch and moan and say they done you wrong?
Just teach 'em what you know an' pass it on down
'Cause man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town

It's a young man's town
Full of young man's dreams
And all God's children
Gotta learn to spread their wings
Sometimes you gotta stand back
And watch 'em burn it to the ground
Even though you built it
It's a young man's town

You always seem to be the last to know
Man, that's just the way that the story goes
There's nothin' you can do when the fields have turned brown
Man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town

It's a young man's town
Full of young man's dreams
And all God's children
Gotta learn to spread their wings
Sometimes you gotta stand back
And watch 'em burn it to the ground
Even though you built it
It's a young man's town

Sometimes you gotta stand back
And watch 'em burn it to the ground
Even though you built it
It's a young man's town
It's a young man's town
