A Younger Man

A Younger Man

Don Henley

“A Younger Man” appears on Don Henley’s 2015 album, Cass County.

This is a breakup song, and a sad farewell. She is so much younger than he, and for a while he was caught up in her youth and beauty. But eventually these summer – winter affairs always play out this way. The old man shows her that the problem isn’t the distance in their ages, but in their points of view.
