Text: Jerry Reed. You're Young And You'll Forget.

I know that it would make you cry
To find that I had gone, didn't even say goodbye
You'll hate me for a while
Because I promised love and left you just regret

But I know that I could never be the kind of man
That you have in your mind on me
Though you said we must part
It would break your heart

But you're young and you'll forget
You're young and I know
Time will help you find a perfect man
Who really loves you

And not a man like me
Who's like the wind and must be free
But a man who's worthy of you
For I could never settle down
To just one way of life, one woman and one town

So sad to part this way
But you'll be glad someday
For you're young and you'll forget

You're young and I know
Time will help you find a perfect man
Who really loves you
