lyrics

From the album 'The Late Bloom' - 2009

Young Lions (c.g.cooper)

| Am - - - | Dm - - - | Am - - - | Em - - - |

Young Lions, Philadelphia’s calling you.
Young Lions, Philly’s missing you.
Whether you be in Boston getting your education
Or running around the Ashokan like… a madman
Young Lions, Philly missing you.

Young Lions, your Mother’s calling you.
Young Lions, no other love’s so true
Be careful on your skateboard, you might come home with stitches
You must talk to your brother him getting too bit for his britches
Young Lions, your Mother’s missing you.

| Am - - - | Dm - - - | Am - - - | Em - - - |
| Am - - - | Dm - - - | Am - - - | Em - - - |
| Am - - - | Dm - - - | Am - - - | Em - - - |
| Dm - - - | Em - - - | F - - - | G - - - |

I loved you when no bigger then a twinkle in Mama’s eye
I watched you grow I watch you go as you wonder far and wide
As you grow, as you go you must know right from wrong.
El preblo unido jamas serva vencido
Venceremos, mis hijos, be strong!

Young Lions, you Father calling you.
Young Lions, your Father’s missing you
I am so proud of you, you’ve grown so big and strong.
Though I know that you must go don’t be too long.
Young Lions, your Father missing you.

Young Lions… young Lions…
… your Father’s Calling you … your Mother’s calling you.
… Philly missing you. … Philadelphia’s calling you.
