Sometimes He's got to run around And be the racehorse that he is Sometimes He can't take anymore So he answers with a fist He talk like the thunder Tall as a tree Laughs in the face of angels Drunk all the time Face like a rag He takes all he can What's a young man to do But to live his rules What's a young man to do When his blood never cools What's a young man to do When he can't shake his blues What's a young man to do But swear not to lose Sometimes He's got to roam the streets Where he knows he once belonged Sometimes He gotta run away And do the things he knows are wrong He tumbles down The lonely path of his heart As he suffers Come of age Now he's a man Now it's time to take a stand
