Lookin Back At Myself lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Lookin Back At Myself lyrics 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?t give in when I believe that I?m 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?s plain to see That the cold hands of time, ain t 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 t been no angel but I ve 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 t forgot what you get for getting? out of line Now this old world throws some punches and I?ve taken a few Now my skin?s tough as leather but I?ve grown strong with the truth There?s been so many times, I could?ve just stepped aside Ah but then I couldn?t stand here with this peace of mind Lookin? back at myself, it?s plain to see That the cold hands of time, ain?t 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 song lyrics
