Young man's game

(Billy Bob Thornton/JD Andrew/Jon Rauhouse)

The old home place is falling down
It's hart to pass that side of town
There are doors I need to close
That's the way the story goes

My heart is stuck in a good old days
It's clear I need to change my ways
Looking back has got its place
Don't lose your way as you retrace

My old man said in 65
You gotta run to stay alive
A change of heart won't change your name
It's always been a young man's game

The old home place is dead and gone
The stories that it told go on and on
Doors are open I suppose
They're all ahead of me in rows

The old man said through scars of truth
These lines don't have to take your youth
Just keep goin' like you came
And you can play a young man's game
