Lookin Back At Myself lyrics
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 ve 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
