Lyrics:

You wouldn't believe
All the things that I've done
You just can't see
'Cause you're young
I paid my dues
And I had my fun
You'll have yours too, son
You'll have yours too, son

You wouldn't believe
How fast they can take it away
You're walking 'round free
Then in chains the next day
Time has a way of breakin' you down
Piece by piece, from your toes to your crown

Oh, enjoy it my son
Yeah, 'cause you're still young

You wouldn't believe
All the things that I've seen
The girls I have known
The places I've been
I've stood at Pompeii, prayed to stones in Delhi
But you don't see shit when you look at me

I've watched the smoke rise from a prince's pyre
It don't look much different from a beggar's fire
Yeah I know, know, you don't think much of me
But in time, you'll see

Oh, enjoy it my son
Yeah, 'cause you're still young
Don't do what I've done
Oh, when I was young

I've got some wisdom
From the time that I've done
Yeah, yeah, yeah
But you're still young
