lyrics

When I was just a lad about 16
My Pa said son come here you better listen to me
Sweating in the sun and busting your ass
Its fine work now but you’ll get old fast

Some folks work with their body others work with their mind
Neither are easy but in time you'll find
The former is something that you can't make last
Because the young man's work it makes you old fast

If you want the proof take a look at me
You might think I’m 50, but I'm going on 33
It ain't my opinion boy it's a matter of fact
The young man's work makes you old fast

Well you might have guessed I didn't listen to him
But I hear his words in my head over and again
When I'm digging a ditch or mowing the grass
The young man's work will make you old fast

Wake up every morning with a kink in my back
Every day’s just a little longer than the last
Fall asleep at 9 with the tv on
Got indigestion and my hairs all gone

If you want the proof take a look at me
I might look 50, but shit I'm 33
It ain't my opinion it's a matter of fact
The young man's work makes you old fast
All that young mans work son, makes you old fast
