VERSE1
Well I had my younger days I remember through the haze
When my father tried to say what was ahead
And I never listened much but I must have heard enough
Cause I finally under-stand the things he said.
|
VERSE2
He said son I know that you think Im old And I never was as smart as you
But I hope you understand Im just trying to lend a hand
Cause Ive done most all the things youre gonna do
|
CHORUS
You can place a bet -Just to find out what youll get
I can tell you now most times youll lose
You can take advice on just how to live your life or else
You can learn the hard way if you choose [2 TIMES]

VERSE3
Now the years went rolling by like the blink of someones eye
And I dont remember How I got this old
Somehow through it all I find now I recall
More of all those things that I was told
|
VERSE4
And I finally understand -Looking back from where I am
That I didnt always pick the easy way
Now I have my own kids -Until they all are grown kids
I know that they wont hear the words I say (CHORUS)
