Tekster: Savoy Brown. When I Was a Young Boy.

When I was a young boy, advice I would scorn
Now I'm gettin' a little older, I know I got a lot to learn
Yesterday's illusions are tomorrow's smiles
I'll look back and laugh baby, sometimes in a while

When I was a young boy, advice I would scorn
Now I'm gettin' a little older, I know I got a lot to learn
Yesterday's illusions are tomorrow's smiles
I'll look back and laugh baby, sometimes in a while

When I was a young boy, advice I would scorn
Now I'm gettin' a little older, I know I got a lot to learn
Yesterday's illusions are tomorrow's smiles
I'll look back and laugh baby, sometimes in a while

And it always seems the same and who knows what to blame
If I knew then what I know now, the mistakes I wouldn't have made
But you can't get a sneak preview over what you're gonna go through
And you have to rely on your body and mind to see the light from shade

Life's the same but time does change perspective of your view
You're lookin' for a mystery but you can't find a clue
Some say a man makes his life, some say that it's fate
But when you find out what to do, oh sometimes it's too late
