|
Got a lot of memories tied up in this place |
|
So much time spent in so little space |
|
What looked like the world through the eyes of a child |
|
Kind of closes in on you after awhile |
|
It's a place to grow up and a place to grow old |
|
You keep your mouth shut and you do what you're told |
|
I told mama the day that i ran |
|
This ain't no place for an angry young man |
|
Mama if you could see me right now |
|
You'd be so sure you failed me somehow |
|
Mama you never could understand |
|
There ain't no peace for an angry young man |
|
A cheap hotel a long way from my home |
|
So many people make you feel so alone |
|
Dreams die easy out here in these streets |
|
And hearts grow cold in the city heat |
|
I ain't never been the patient kind |
|
I got to live like i please or die tryin' |
|
At a filling station with a gun in my hand |
|
The only way for an angry young man |
|
Got a lot of memories tied up in this place |
|
Tonight they're starin' me right in the face |
|
A lonely grave on the outskirts of town |
|
It's three in the morning, ain't no one around |
|
Just like a ghost i come out of the night |
|
But i'll be gone before the morning light |
|
Mama i hope that you understand |
|
This ain't no place for an angry young man |
