alabama - i was young once too lyrics
(richard leigh/robert byrne)
he raced that engine down the track
’round the tree on christmas day
i was so amazed my dad would play with trains
i saw a sparkle in his eye, then i heard him say,
come on son let’s play, i was young once, too
he washed that buick faithfully, lord, he kept her clean
i thought that machine meant more to him than me
on the day i turned sixteen he threw me the keys
said i was young once, too, now she belongs to you
he was such a young man then, i’m older than that now
i hope i measure up to him, when the circle comes around
i saw him in the attic sittin’ cross legged on the floor
with some old photographs, he pointed and laughed
he said, that’s me in that picture,
i said, no son, that’s your dad
i was young once, too, and looked a lot like you
i was young once, too, i was young once, too
(spoken)
merry christmas son, i wish your grandpa were here
he was young once, too,
and looked like me and you…
