young gun

You said you loved the night

So I went in the sky

And turned off all the lights

I lassoed every star

You said you loved the ocean

So I went out and dove in

Put it all out in the open

Gave up my young, wild heart

Conquered the world and then some

Captured the golden crown

Still I heard you found

I heard you found

A young gun from another town

And they’re everything I couldn’t be

I heard you’re down with a

Young gun from another town

And it’s killing me softly to see

Do you ever think of me?

How could I compete with a

A young gun from another town?

My soul began to break

From underneath the weight

Of tryna keep the pace

But that road went on and on

I could’ve tried to run

But to stay forever young

Is a war that’s never won

And time is just way too strong

Oh, what a tragic ending

Mm, mm

Oh, what a hurtful sound

When I heard you found

I heard you found

A young gun from another town

And they’re everything I couldn’t be

I heard you’re down with a

Young gun from another town

And it’s killing me softly to see

And do you ever think of me?

How could I compete with a

A young gun from another town?
