Angry Young Man |
| Got a lot of memories tied up in this place |
| So much time spent in so little space |
| What looked like the world through the eyes of a child |
| Kind of closes in on you after awhile |
| Its a place to grow up and a place to grow old |
| You keep your mouth shut and you do what youre told |
| I told mama the day that I ran |
| This aint no place for an angry young man |
| Mama if you could see me right now |
| Youd be so sure you failed me somehow |
| Mama you never could understand |
| There aint no peace for an angry young man |
| A cheap hotel a long way from my home |
| So many people make you feel so alone |
| Dreams die easy out here in these streets |
| And hearts grow cold in the city heat |
| I aint never been the patient kind |
| I got to live like I please or die tryin |
| At a filling station with a gun in my hand |
| The only way for an angry young man |
| Got a lot of memories tied up in this place |
| Tonight theyre starin me right in the face |
| A lonely grave on the outskirts of town |
| Its three in the morning, aint no one around |
| Just like a ghost I come out of the night |
| But Ill be gone before the morning light |
| Mama I hope that you understand |
| This aint no place for an angry young man |
