You wouldn t beli- eve all the things that I ve done
You just can t see cause you re young
I ve paid my dues and I had my fun
You ll have yours too, son
You ll have yours too, son
You wouldn t beli- eve how fast they can take it aw- ay
You re walking round free and in chains the next day
Time has a way of breaking you down
Piece by piece from your tooth to your
claw
O- oh, trust me my son
Ye- ah, cause you re sti- ll young
()
You wouldn t beli- eve all the things that I ve seen
The girls I have known, and places I ve been
I ve stood at Pompeii, prayed to stones in Del- hi
But you don t see shit when you look at me
I ve watched the smoke rise from a prince s pyre
It don t look much different from a beggar s fire
Yeah,I know, know you d- on t think much of me
But in time,
you ll see
A- ah,in time, my son
Ye- ah, cause you re still young
Don t do what I ve done
O- oh, when I was young
( )
I ve got some wisdom from the time that I ve done
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but you re still young
