(aaron tippin/leigh reynolds)
I put down my razor Toweled off my face Thought i saw a new wrinkle And another strand of gray That one little scar Kept catching my eye Reminding 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 kid turned out to be
Lookin?back at myself It’s plain to see That the cold hands of time Ain’t had much mercy on me But i played a straight game With the cards that were dealt And i can look straight ahead Lookin?back at myself
Now i ain’t been no angel But i learned right from wrong Thanks to mamma and a hickory And a love so strong Yes she taught the rule That life is lived by I ain’t forgot what you get For getting?out of line Now this old world throws some punches And i’ve taken a few Now my skin’s tough as leather But i’ve grown strong with the truth There’s been so many times i could’ve just stepped aside Ah but then i couldn’t stand here with this peace of mind
Lookin?back at myself It’s plain to see That the cold hands of time Ain’t had much mercy on me But i played a straight game With the cards that were dealt And i can look straight ahead Lookin?back at myself
Still look straight ahead Lookin?back at myself
