Old Heads On Young Shoulders
I know you love me son
As much as I love you
We may not agree
On several things
That we see in life
That's true
But it's just natural
For you and I to see
How I'd do things if I were you
And you if you were me
In time you'll be where I am now
And my words you'll recall
Ah but old heads on young shoulders
They don't really work at all
In memory I'll always be someone
That you recall
In reality Son I'll simply
Be a picture on your wall
Dad its only when I've lived a while
These things I'll realise
But old heads on young shoulders
They won't make a young man wise
Cause there's a hunger
There within my dreams
That only youth awakes
We all must reinvent life's
Wheel and learn from our mistakes
In time I'll be where you are now
And your words I'll recall
Ah but old heads on young shoulders
They don't really work at all
In memory you'll always
Be someone that I'll recall
In reality Dad
You'll simply be a picture on my wall
But old heads on young shoulders
They don't really work at all
