lyrics

As a young man I always had to think twice
When those church folks urged me avert my eyes

So listen here don’t you ever fear
You’ve got to listen never cover your ears

So I left the church for the lack of hurt
That they let us children find out why

They say you might lose God and though it wasn’t all good
I just couldn’t help but use my mind

You know that I don’t like this and though I wouldn’t choose it
No I wouldn’t have it any other way It’s okay

Cause this is what I’m given so this is what I’ll cling to
Oh that nothing matters really anyway It’s okay

I’m an old man now and I’ve had my share
Of the things that make most men despair

I get to watch my son lose the only one
That he bet his life on; riches won

And now at 85 I get to love my wife
As she slowly sweetly loses her mind

And thought I’m not well off I get to pay it all off
Once the doctor’s failed to make it right

Some people wish they could change
The way they lived or the friends they made
The way they go or the date I hope you understand
