When I was a boy my life wasn't easy Listen to me son you gotta believe me You better watch out a storm is coming While you dance to the sound of out of time drumming Well you're high on the hog spending all the money Stung by the bee but you got no honey Got all the bling in the fast lane running Sober up quick catch the last train coming Change say you wanna change but you never change and it's all he wrote You're in the way of heavy weather Eye of the storm is gonna change your life You throw away the pieces that I've learned Thinking you're right But you'll never face the heavy weather The way that I have done Hey old man on your high horse preachin' Can't put me down but you keep on reaching Running too fast but you keep on getting slower It's a young man's world and you'd better give it over So bold thinking everything is fine Your sixteen years ain't half of mine I know you wanna say that I'm preaching it to you But l've seen so much more and I'm leaving it to you I just want you to know You're in the way of heavy weather Eye of the storm is gonna change your life You throw away the pieces that l've learned Thinking you're right But you'll never face the heavy weather The way that I have done You're in the way of heavy weather Eye of the storm is gonna change your life You throw away the pieces that l've learned Thinking you're right But you'll never face the heavy weather The way that I have done Face the heavy weather Face the heavy weather
