(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 give in
When I believe that I 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 plain to see
That the cold hands of time
Ain 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 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 forgot what you get
For getting?out of line
Now this old world throws some punches
And Ie taken a few
Now my skin tough as leather
But Ie grown strong with the truth
There been so many times I coulde just stepped aside
Ah but then I couldn stand here with this peace of mind
Lookin?back at myself
It plain to see
That the cold hands of time
Ain 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
