When I Was Young, Old Man Sat Me On His Knee

He Told Me If I Had A Dream, I Could Be What I Wanna Be

Now Life Goes On A Voice Echos In The Wind

It's Telling Me To Carry On, Now I Know That It's Him



-chorus-

He Said Whoa, Watch Out Boy

Don't Go Messin With Your Life Cause It Ain't No Toy

Lord Help Ya To Carry Life's Load

It Could All Pass You By Down On Dead Man's Road



Now I Got A Good Woman

Ya Know She's Looking Out For Me

And If I Get A Little Blind Ya Know She Helps Me To See

But I Gotta Keep Runnin' Because They're Catching Up To Me

I Think I Hear That Voice Again, This Time It Says To Me



-chorus-

He Said Whoa, Watch Out Boy

Don't Go Messin With Your Life Cause It Ain't No Toy

Lord Help Ya To Carry Life's Load

It Could All Pass You By Down On Dead Man's Road



-instrumental-



When I Was Young Old Man Sat Me On His Knee

He Told Me If I Had A Dream I Could Be What I Wanna Be

Now Life Goes On A Voice Echos In The Wind

It's Telling Me To Carry On Now I Know That It's Him



-chorus-

He Said Whoa, Watch Out Boy

Don't Go Messin With Your Life Cause It Ain't No Toy

Lord Help Ya To Carry Life's Load

Don't You Let It Pass You By Down On Dead Man's Road

-repeat Chorus-
