Go Be Young Lyrics - Messenger - Edwin Mccain

Perfumed and smoky 

She swears that she knows me 

She's falling down drunk again 

I say she's mistaken 

She's visibly shaken 

Emotions all drowned in gin 

She said I used to be beautiful 

But now it's all gone 

I let my dreams slip away from me 

That's where it went wrong 

Go be young, go be free 

Follow your heart where it leads you 

Don't end up like me 

The Indian in the guardhouse used to spin me yarns 

Stories of canyons and Boston in winter 

And losing his family's farms 

He said I've outlived my three sons, they died in three wars 

I laughed and I cried while they lived and they died 

And I know that they deserve more 

Go be young, go be free 

Follow your heart where it leads you 

Don't end up like me 

Perfumed and smoky 

I'm falling down drunk again 

I say she's mistaken 

She's visibly shaken 

Emotions all drowned in gin 

I say I used to be powerful 

But now it's all gone 

I let my dreams take control of me 

That's where it went wrong 

Go be young, go be free 

Follow your heart where it leads you 

Don't end up like me
