A Young Man Is Gone Lyrics by The Beach Boys

Spirit of America

1963

[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[Verse 1]
Now a young man's gone
But his legend lingers on
For so much had he to give
But his life is through
For the story told is true
For he died just as he lived
[Bridge]
For this daring young star
Met his death while in his car
No one knows the reason why
Screaming tire, flashing fire
And gone was this young star
Oh, how could they let him die
[Verse 2]
Still a young man is gone
Yet his legend lingers on
For he died without a cause
[Outro]
And they say that he'll
Be known forevermore
As the "Rebel Without a Cause"
