You said you love the night So I went in the sky And turned off all the lights I lassoed every star You said you love the ocean So I went out and dove in Put it all out in the open Gave up my own wild heart I conquered the world and then some Captured the golden crown Still I heard you found I heard you found A young gun from another town and they're Everything I couldn't be I heard you're down with a Young gun from another town and it's Killin' me softly to see Do you ever think of me? How could I compete with a A young gun from another town? Soul began to break From underneath the weight Been tryna keep the pace But that road went on and on I coulda tried to run But to stay forever young Is a war that's never won And time is just way too strong Oh, what a tragic ending, mm Oh, what a hurtful sound When I heard you found I heard you found A young gun from another town and they're Everything I couldn't be I heard you're down with a Young gun from another town and it's Killin' me softly to see And do you ever think of me? How could I compete with a A young gun from another town?
