I Was Young Once Too Lyrics - Classic Christmas Album - Alabama

He raced that engine down the track 'round the tree on Christmas day 

I was so amazed my dad would play with trains 

I saw a sparkle in his eye, then I heard him say 

"Come on, son, let's play, I was young once too 

He washed that Buick faithfully, Lord, he kept her clean 

I thought that machine meant more to him than me 

On the day I turned sixteen he threw me the keys 

Said, "I was young once too, now she belongs to you" 

He was such a young man then, I'm older than that now 

I hope I measure up to him, when the circle comes around 

I saw him in the attic sittin' cross legged on the floor 

With some old photographs, he point and laughed 

He said, "That's me in that picture", I said, "No son, that's your dad" 

I was young once too and looked a lot like you
