Young Man's Dream

[Verse 1]

Left my home when I was seventeen

Feet were dirty, but my soul was clean

I was lookin' for a young man's dream, it seemed

Found a livin' up in Illinois

She brought me sorrow and she brought me joy

Treated me just like a rubber toy, oh, boy

[Chorus]

Don't take long to fall in love

Takes a little time to get back where you're from

Lookin' at the world through electric eyes

Feel like I died and woke up in paradise

[Verse 2]

Life is over 'fore it all begins

But if you're looking for a way back in

You can say you knew me way back when, back when

[Chorus]

Didn't take long to fall in love

Takes a little time to get back where you're from

Lookin' at the world through electric eyes

Feel like I died and woke up in paradise

[Outro]

Left my home when I was seventeen

My feet were dirty but my soul was clean

I'm still looking for that young man's dream, it seems
