Young Man's Game Lyrics - World Gone Crazy - The Doobie Brothers

Now there ain't no rules or regulations 

when you're playing rock'n'roll 

You got your backbeat in the driver's seat 

you're rollin' and it's out of control 

Now they say that it's a young man's game 

and that is who is fanning 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 there's still a lot of guys on the road 

and they're knockin' down a backbeat, Lord 

We got thirty long years 

of bringing people rock'n'roll

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

[Chorus] 

Rockin' music makes us whole 

it doesn't matter if you're young or old 

They love to hear on the radio 

it takes your troubles away 

I'll tell you what don't work for me 

that crazy ideology 

That says playin' that rock'n'roll 

is just a young man's game 

Now if you're playin' in a collesium 

or in a smoky old club 

Long as all the people rockin' 

there's a whole lotta shakin' going on 

When you're singin' in harmony 

and you're down on your bended knee 

Throw your guitar in the trunk 

and drive your Cadillac to the show.

(Repeat Chorus) 

I'm hear to tell you it drives me insane 

to hear that rock'n'roll music's 

just a young man's game 

Drivin' in my car I'm tryin' to relax 

But those rock'n'roll critics goin' yak yak yak 

I'm here to tell you it drives me insane 

to hear that rock'n'roll music's 

just a young man's game 

Drivin' in my car I'm tryin' to relax 

Have Mercy! Those critics talkin' yak yak yak!
