Lookin' back at myself

Lookin' back at myself Lyrics

(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抰 give in
When I believe that I抦 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抯 plain to see
That the cold hands of time
Ain抰 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抰 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抰 forgot what you get
For getting?out of line
Now this old world throws some punches
And I抳e taken a few
Now my skin抯 tough as leather
But I抳e grown strong with the truth
There抯 been so many times I could抳e just stepped aside
Ah but then I couldn抰 stand here with this peace of mind

Lookin?back at myself
It抯 plain to see
That the cold hands of time
Ain抰 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
