Stubborn Young Manhood Lyrics

I'd like your commentary on what you think my life is worth
Your little back and forth is fine I'm sure I'll sleep
Except for a dream or two that I might have after your gone
A perfect vision on this monologue
I'll say what you wanna' hear but I know who I am
You tell me what you want me to be but I know who I am

I heard a story so true told by a man that I love
He told me son don't work for nobody less' it's you
It resonated as I heard him pull out of the drive
An hour there and back, my oh my
You wanted war here's your battlefield
I've got my pen, my sword, my promise
Seventy-one bleeding wisdom fast
But I got my heart my stubborn young manhood

I'd like to hear you tell me all you think that I should have done
Isn't it easy to talk and not listen?
It's getting later and I'm sure I'll have my day in the sun
And when I get there you'll be so burned up
