Angry Young Man Steve Earle

[Verse 1]
I got a lot of memories tied up in this place
So much time spent in so little space
What looked like the world through the eyes of a child
Kind of closes in on you after a while
It's a place to grow up and a place to grow old
You keep your mouth shut and you do what you're told
I told Mama the day that I ran
This ain't no place for an angry young man

[Chorus]
Oh mama if you could see me right now
You'd be so sure you failed me somehow
Mama, you never could understand
There ain't no peace for an angry young man

[Verse 2]
A cheap hotel a long way from my home
So many people make you feel so alone
Dreams die easy out here in these streets
Hearts grow cold in the city heat
And I ain't never been the patient kind
I've got to live like I please or die tryin'
At a filling station with a gun in my hand
Is the only way for an angry young man
