A Younger Man Lyrics - Cass County - Don Henley

I know you're disappointed 

I can see it in your eyes 

This isn't what you wanted 

And now you realize 

I ain't no knight in shining armor 

Who comes a-ridin' 'cross the lea 

You're lookin' for a younger man, not me 

Now, the merchants in the marketplace 

They're selling fantasy 

It's a trick of light and shadow 

It's not reality 

It's just a faded photograph 

Of the man I used to be 

You're lookin' for a younger man, not me 

I knew the day I met you 

It was never gonna last 

You're an angel from the future 

I'm an old devil from the past 

So, trust me when I tell you 

This is the way it's meant to be 

You're looking for a younger man, not me 

If you believe in better days ahead 

For this crazy human race 

That we will somehow be delivered 

By goodness and by grace 

And if you're lookin' for believers 

In faith and hope and charity 

Then, you're lookin' for a younger man, not me
