[Verse 1]
I had no words for you that Saturday
As we both watched our entire worlds change
Your hero fell just as you came of age
And I had no words, but now I know what to say
[Pre-Chorus]
You're of me, not mine
Walk your own crooked line
I promise you'll be fine
Take the best parts of him
As your own life begins
Leave the bad news behind you
[Chorus]
Young man
Take a good look at my life and
Try to understand
I've done my best the best I know how to
And my blues aren't your blues
It's up to you
[Verse 2]
After this storm
There's nothing you can't navigate
Point to the truth
You'll see it's the only way
[Pre-Chorus]
You're of me, not mine
Perfect in my eyes
You're gonna be alright
Take the best parts of him
As your own life begins
Leave the bad news behind
[Chorus]
Young man
Take a good look at my life and
Try to understand
I've done my best the best I know how to
And my blues aren't your blues
It's up to you
It's up to you
[Chorus]
Young man
Take a good look at my life and
Try to understand
I've done my best the best I know how to
And my blues aren't your blues
You'll walk in your own shoes
It's up to you
