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
I believe there's something in you
Something good is tryin' to break 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
Days don't stretch any longer
They've left tracks upon my skin
But I reckon made me stronger
I wish I could gifts that to you
Help you see the world like I do
Something you should be seeing to
Bet it all on yourself at least one time
Cause' honey win or lose
It's one hell of a ride
I believe there's something in you
Something you should be seeing to
When you lack the strength of your own
Honey hold out your hands
And take it from an old man
Cause' when you think you can't
You can
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
I believe there's something in you
Something good is tryin' to break 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
Days don't stretch any longer
They've left tracks upon my skin
But I reckon made me stronger
I wish I could gifts that to you
Help you see the world like I do
Something you should be seeing to
Bet it all on yourself at least one time
Cause' honey win or lose
It's one hell of a ride
I believe there's something in you
Something you should be seeing to
When you lack the strength of your own
Honey hold out your hands
And take it from an old man
Cause' when you think you can't
You can
Take it from an old man
