Вступление
[Intro]
I put down my razor
And toweled off my face.
Thought I saw a new wrinkle.
And another strand of grey.
That one little scar kept catching my eye.
Re minding me how time does fly
I was only a kid
When I had that first fight.
But I still don't give in
When I believe that i'm right.
And at least I can stand here and like what I see.
In the man that he turned out to be.
Lookin' back at my self.
It's plain to see.
That the cold hands of time
Ain't had much mercy on me.
But I played a st raight game.
With the cards that were delt.
But I can look straight a head
Looking back at my self.
Now I ain't been no angel
But I've learned right from wrong.
Thanks to Mamma and a hickory
And a love so strong.
Yes she taught the rules that life is lived by.
Ain't for got what you get for gettin' out a line
Now this ol' world throws some punches
And I've taken a few.
Now my skins tuff as leather
But I've grown strong with the truth.
There's been so many times I coulda just stepped aside.
Ah but then I couldn't stand here with this piece of mind.
Lookin' back at my self.
It's plain to see.
That the cold hands of time
Ain't had much mercy on me.
But I played a st raight game.
With the cards that were delt.
But I can look straight a head
Looking back at my self.
Still look straight a head
Looking back at my self.
