Oh When I Was A Young Man, I stood on the shoulder of the road
D C G D C G
I had no responsibilities, I was carryin? all my clothes

I was hitchhikin? to nowhere, cause I had nowhere to be
D C G D C G A
And I had nothin? to live for, and I was feelin? so free
[Chorus]
A D A D A D
I was a Rhinestone Cowboy, I was a Longhair Redneck
A D A D A D A D
I was a loner, I was an Outlaw, I was a Rebel, I was a renegade
A D A D A D A D
I was a, I was a, I was a When I Was A Young Man.

D C G D C G
When I Was A Young Man, I would drink and I would fight
D C G D C G
I would ride my old Panhead, ah now that was a sight

Long hair blowing behind me, I kept my face in the breeze
D C G D C G A
Now get out on that highway, just as cool as you please.
