(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’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 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
