Take It from an Old Man

Take it from an old man

Time's just sand slippin' past

We wanna hold it in our hands

But no one ever sees what falls through the cracks

Take it from an old man

My mistakes have made me

And I am what I am

And though I don't believe in silver linings (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)

I believe there's something in you (I believe in you)

Something good is tryin' to break through (Through)

You might have to fight the good fight

And when you think you can't

You can

Take it from an old man

Take it from an old man

The days don't stretch any longer

They've left tracks upon my skin

But I reckon made me stronger

But I believe there's something in you

Something you should be seeing too

Bet it all on yourself at least one time

'Cause, honey, win or lose (Win or lose)

It's one hell of a ride

It's one hell of a ride

And if you lack the strength of your own

Honey, hold out your hands and take it from an old man
