Lyrics David Allan Coe

David Allan Coe

When I Was a Young Man

Oh When I Was A Young Man, I stood on the shoulder of

the road

I had no responsibilities, I was carryin' all my

clothes

I was hitchhikin' to nowhere, cause I had nowhere to be

And I had nothin' to live for, and I was feelin' so

free

I was a Rhinestone Cowboy, I was a Longhair Redneck

I was a loner, I was an Outlaw, I was a Rebel, I was a

renegade

I was a, I was a, I was a When I Was A Young Man.

When I Was A Young Man, I would drink and I would fight

I would ride my old Panhead, ah now that was a sight

Long hair blowing behind me, I kept my face in the

breeze

Now get out on that highway, just as cool as you

please.

I was a Rhinestone Cowboy, was a Longhair Redneck

Was a loner, was an Outlaw, was a Rebel, was a renegade

I was a, I was a, I was a When I Was A Young Man.

I was a Rhinestone Cowboy, I was a Longhair Redneck

I was a Rhinestone Cowboy, I was a Longhair Redneck

I was a loner, I was an Outlaw, I was a Rebel, I was a

renegade

I was a, I was a, I was a I was a bad motherfucker,

When I Was A Young Man.
