Young Man's Game Lyrics

YOUNG MANS GAME
The Doobie Brothers


Now there aint no rules or regulations
when youre playing rocknroll
You got your backbeat in the drivers seat
youre rollin and its out of control
Now they say that its a young mans game
and that is who is burnin the flame
But they seem to forget
who shot the rocket out of the hole

You got your young string slingers
burnin up and down the fretboard all day
You got your metal on the darkside
warnin of the judgement day
But theres still a lot of guys on the road
and theyre knockin down a backbeat load
We got thirty long years
of bringing people rocknroll

**Rockin music makes us whole
it doesnt matter if youre young or old
They love to hear on the radio
it takes your troubles away
Ill tell you what dont work for me
that crazy ideology
That says playin that rocknroll
is just a young mans game

Now if youre playin in a collesium
or just a smoky old club
As long as all the peoples rockin
theres a whole lotta shakin going on
When youre singin in harmony
and youre down on your bended knee
Throw your guitar in the trunk
and drive your cadillac to the show

Repeat **

LEAD BREAK

Repeat**

Im hear to tell you it drives me insane
to hear that rocknroll music's
just a young mans game
Drivin in my car I try to relax
But them rocknroll critics goin yak yak yak
Im hear to tell you it drives me insane
to hear that rocknroll music
is just a young mans game
Drivin in my car I try to relax
Hey listen to those critics goin yak yak yak
