Intro
My mother gave a mighty shout
Opened her legs and let me out
(554020)
Hungry as a prairie dog
Young man in America
Young man in America
Hungry, hungry, running every which way
(554020)
Young man in Americ-kay
I come out like a cannonball
Come of age of alcohol
(554020)
Raven in a field of rye
With a black and roving eye
Black and roving eye
Ravenous, ravenous, what you've got is not enough
(554020)
Young man in America
Oh shelter
Mother shelter
Mother shelter us
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh
My father was a lord of land
My daddy was a repo man

He didn't give a damn for me

Young man in America

Father shepherd
Father shepherd us
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh
In my feathers and furs
Clothes of many colours
(554020)
Many men will envy me
When I'm in my finery
Me and my finery
Envy me, envy me, spending all of my bright money
(554020)
Young man in Americ-kay
Maybe I'll climb the stairs
With the girl with golden hair
(554020)
Hold her like a sword and shield
Up against this lonely world
Up against the world
It's a lonely, lonely world
For a yellow-headed girl
(554020)
And a young man
Break
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh
Like the wind I make my moan
Howl in the canyon
(554020)
There's a hollow in my bones
Make me cry and carry on
Make the foam fly from my tongue
Make me want what I want
(554020)
Another wayward son
Waiting on oblivion
Waiting for a kingdom come to meet me in my sin
(554020)
Waiting to be born again
Mother kiss me cheek and chin
Mmm, a little nedicine
Mmm, I'm gonna shed my skin
Mmm, and let me cli
