When He Was My Age |
He worked all week for a hard day’s pay |
Walked to school five miles one way |
It must have rained every day |
When he was my age |
He quit school early to help Grandpa |
He was one man short on a crosscut saw |
There was wood to cut and ground to break |
When he was my age |
By the time he turned twelve in '39 |
He’d been through Hell and Hoover times |
Drank his first homemade wine |
And started to shave |
The tales get taller every time they’re told |
The fish get longer as he grows old |
He loves to talk about the good old days |
When he was my age |
He was sixty pounds lighter with a head full of hair |
A dollar in his tank would take him anywhere |
But nine o’clock was coming on late |
When he was my age |
He talks about the time the Dodgers called |
He could have played pro ball |
But he had me to raise |
When he was my age |
By the time he turned twelve in '39 |
He’d been through Hell and Hoover times |
Drank his first homemade wine |
And started to shave |
The tales get taller every time they’re told |
The fish get longer as he grows old |
He loves to talk about the good old days |
When he was my age |
When he was my age he had a lot more living left to do |
But hard work and hard times |
Robbed him of his youth |
He says it seems like yesterday |
When he was my age |
When he was my age |
When he was my age |
When he was my age |
When he was my age |
