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 dont give in

When i believe that im 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

Its plain to see

That the cold hands of time

Aint 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 aint 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 aint forgot what you get

For getting?out of line

Now this old world throws some punches

And ive taken a few

Now my skins tough as leather

But ive grown strong with the truth

Theres been so many times i couldve just stepped aside

Ah but then i couldnt stand here with this peace of mind



Lookin?back at myself

Its plain to see

That the cold hands of time

Aint 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
