Lyrics
I look in the mirror and who do I find
Someone very different on the outside
I squint, and I stare… Comb down my bad hair
But there’s always more lines, and a little less care
And I count my blessings, and I watch my mouth
Hope for the best and pray things will work out
I spent my life trying to make a buck
I’ve had it good, I’ve had it rough, maybe I shouldn’t have given a fuck
Chorus
I Spend my time trying to get my way
Maybe that’s why today
I’m sliver and grey… silver and grey
Yeah, these days, I’m silver and grey
I look in the mirror and who do I see
A silver-haired man and he's looking back at me
I stop and I ask… how did time go so fast
Reflecting on my life, was it a life well spent
These days I hope I can still pay the rent
I wear age on a face, completely worn-in
I keep my head held high, I’ll be tough til' I die
Yeah... I’ll be tough until the day I die
Chorus
Bridge
The golden years, aren’t always so golden
Filled with aches and pains, but I’m still kicking
I’m like a watch that’s beat up, scratched but keeps on ticking
I’ve got a legacy of never giving up
No, I won’t give up
Guitar Solo
