Too fast, too soon,
Slow down let me get some room,
I heard you say it's time to go,
You'd think by now that I ought to know,
That you command my every move.
[Chorus]
I'll be a young man (I'll be a young man)
I'll be a young man (I'll be a young man)
On the day I die
Oh, the day I die, yeah
Old man, leather shoes,
Tells me I've gotta pay my dues,
My bed and money is all I got,
Some people say that that's a lot,
But you say, that's not enough.
[Chorus]
I'll be a young man (I'll be a young man)
I'll be a young man (I'll be a young man)
On the day I die
Oh, the day I die
Oh, the day I die
Late nights, city lights,
My tongue's so sharp well you'd swear it bites,
They call me the devil's son,
But you know I'm not the only one,
Now I can feel you cut me down.
[Chorus]
I'll be a young man (I'll be a young man)
I'll be a young man (I'll be a young man, yeah)
On the day I die
Oh, the day I die
Oh, the day I die
Oh, the day I die, yeah
