lyrics
Listen to one who knows,
who's been there and back
and knows where to go,
what little I've learned
I would like to share with you,
come and hear.
Follow your wildest dreams.
Don't speak too loud,
unless it's a scream.
For your heart contains
all the truth you will need
go and set it free.
But know when to pull your bets.
Know when to smoke your last cigarette.
And don't waste your breath,
cause it's all that you get,
go and tell all the people you love
you'll never forget them.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry,
I've done enough of that for both of us.
Don't lie, don't lie, don't lie,
cause a real man don't do none of that.
But I am old and you are young,
so don't go take these words too strong,
you're eighteen, soon you'll know what I mean.
Learn how to play the blues.
Don't watch the evening news, whatever you do,
always believe there's still good in the world
if you care to choose it.
Careful with all the girls.
But know there ain't nothing
so sweet to adore.
If you feel the tears come
to swallow your eyes,
lesser men than you
for love have died.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry,
I've done enough of that for both of us.
Don't hide, don't hide, don't hide,
cause a real man don't do none of that.
But I am old and you are young,
and I speak a barbarous tongue.
Those aren't my words,
but, even so, they're true.
who's been there and back
and knows where to go,
what little I've learned
I would like to share with you,
come and hear.
Follow your wildest dreams.
Don't speak too loud,
unless it's a scream.
For your heart contains
all the truth you will need
go and set it free.
But know when to pull your bets.
Know when to smoke your last cigarette.
And don't waste your breath,
cause it's all that you get,
go and tell all the people you love
you'll never forget them.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry,
I've done enough of that for both of us.
Don't lie, don't lie, don't lie,
cause a real man don't do none of that.
But I am old and you are young,
so don't go take these words too strong,
you're eighteen, soon you'll know what I mean.
Learn how to play the blues.
Don't watch the evening news, whatever you do,
always believe there's still good in the world
if you care to choose it.
Careful with all the girls.
But know there ain't nothing

If you feel the tears come

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry,

Don't hide, don't hide, don't hide,
cause a real man don't do none of that.
But I am old and you are young,
and I speak a barbarous tongue.
