When I Was Your Age

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He said, "When I was your age, I used to sin like the devil I used to fight like a rebel, had to have it my way" He said, "When I was your age, I used to shoot straight whiskey I told the world it could kiss me right on my skull ring, ha ha!" [Verse 2] He said, "When I was your age, I thought I would live forever There's no way that I would ever not feel that strong" He said, "When I was your age, I was sure by now I'd have it all figured out, but boy was I wrong [Chorus] But the more I live, the less I know I keep makin' life up as I go I don't know what tomorrow brings but Son, if I've learnt anything, it's that God's in charge of everything, yeah" [Verse 3] He said, "When I was your age, I had a woman that loved me She couldn't get enough of me, and my biggest mistake was bein' Too dumb to see that love is all that really matters I wish I'd known what really mattered when I was your age, yeah! [Chorus] The more I live, the more I've learnt You can't walk back all the bridges that you've burnt I don't know what tomorrow brings but Son, if I know anything, it's that God's in charge of everything, yeah yeah" [Verse 4] He said, "When I was your age, I never thought I'd be an old man With wrinkles, hair on my hands, wish I could turn back the page I'd drink a beer with my dad and tell him how much I love him Just like I shoulda done when, when I was your age, yeah! [Chorus] The more I live, the less I know I keep makin' life up as I go I don't know what tomorrow brings but Son, if I've learnt anything, it's that God's in charge of everything, yeah, yeah [Outro] Yeah, in charge of everything When I was your age"
