Oh When I Was A Young Man, I stood on the shoulder of
the road
I had no responsibilities, I was carryin' all my
clothes
I was hitchhikin' to nowhere, cause I had nowhere to be
And I had nothin' to live for, and I was feelin' so
free

I was a Rhinestone Cowboy, I was a Longhair Redneck

I was a loner, I was an Outlaw, I was a Rebel, I was a
renegade
I was a, I was a, I was a When I Was A Young Man.

When I Was A Young Man, I would drink and I would fight
I would ride my old Panhead, ah now that was a sight
Long hair blowing behind me, I kept my face in the
breeze
Now get out on that highway, just as cool as you
please.

I was a Rhinestone Cowboy, was a Longhair Redneck

Was a loner, was an Outlaw, was a Rebel, was a renegade
I was a, I was a, I was a When I Was A Young Man.

I was a Rhinestone Cowboy, I was a Longhair Redneck

I was a Rhinestone Cowboy, I was a Longhair Redneck
I was a loner, I was an Outlaw, I was a Rebel, I was a
renegade
I was a, I was a, I was a I was a bad motherfucker,
When I Was A Young Man.
