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 I believe that 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 to 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
