Too Much For You

You were just a boy back when it began Parading down Grafton Street Quickly learned with a wink and a nod Got whatever you'd need Had a way with the words and the birds and the boys at the bar Took the kid out of Dublin, maybe you took it too far Thinking about your father you never knew Thinking about your mother that left you Thinking about the dreams you made come true But it was all too much (It was all too much) It was all too much (It was all too much) It was all too much, too much, too much for you Had the soul of a poet, the looks for the stage A nose for success trapped you in a cage Couldn't stand to be alone when the music was done Couldn't stop flying too close to the sun A cowboy, a rocker, a fighter just the same Some are not suited to fortune and fame Coulda turned out alright But your star burned too bright Thinking about your father you never knew Thinking about your mother that left you Thinking about the dreams you made come true But it was all too much (It was all too much) It was all too much (It was all too much) It was all too much, too much, too much for you You gave your soul Your very heart and soul You gave your soul To believe in rock and roll I still believe in rock and roll Do we believe in, believe in rock and roll? Your will was weak, the horse was strong Rode you hard til you were gone You left us with a tear, and a song that we still sing About brotherhood and Boys Back in Town That jukebox in the corner still playing it loud Cause that's when it feels, like you're still here Thinking about your father you never knew Thinking about your mother that left you Thinking about the dreams you made come true But it was all too much (It was all too much) It was all too much (It was all too much) It was all too much (It was all too much) It was all too much (It was all too much) It was all too much (Too much) It was all too much (Too much) It was all too much, too much, too much for you
