i got a lot of memories tied up in this place so much time spent in so little space what looked like the world through the eyes of a child kind of closes in on you after a while it s a place to grow up and a place to grow old you keep your mouth shut and you do what you re told i told mama the day that i ran this ain t no place for an angry young man oh mama if you could see me right now you d be so sure you failed me somehow mama you never could understand there ain t no peace for an angry young man a cheap hotel a long way from my home so many people make you feel so alone dreams die easy out here in these streets hearts grow cold in the city heat and i ain t never been the patient kind i ve got to live like i please or die tryin at a filling station with a gun in my hand is the only way for an angry young man oh mama if you could see me right now you d be so sure you failed me somehow mama you never could understand there ain t no peace for an angry young man got a lot of memories tied up in this place tonight they re staring me right in the face a lonely grave on the outskirts of town it s three in the morning no one around just like a ghost i come out of the night but i ll be gone before the morning light mama i hope that you understand this ain t no place for an angry young man  oh mama if you could see me right now you d be so sure you failed me somehow mama you never could understand there ain t no peace for an angry young man oh mama if you could see me right now you d be so sure you failed me somehow mama you never could understand there ain t no peace for an angry young man
