a young man is gone

oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo

ah ah ah ah ahhhhh

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. 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

still a young man is gone

yet his legend lingers on

for he died without a cause

and they say that he'll

be known for evermore

as the rebel without a cause
