Lyrics Take It from an Old Man - Dakin Matthews, Waitress Original Broadway Cast Ensemble

Take It from an Old Man

Take it from an old man
Time’s just sand slippin' past
We wanna hold it in our hands
But no one ever sees what falls through the cracks
Take it from an old man
My mistakes have made me
And I am what I am
And though I don’t believe in silver linings
Oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I believe that there’s something in you
I believe in you
Something good is tryin' to break through
Through
You might have to fight the good fight
And when you think you can’t
You can
Take it from an old man
Take it from an old man
The days don’t stretch any longer
They’ve left tracks upon my skin
But I reckon made me stronger
But I believe there’s something in you
Something you should be seeing too
Bet it all on yourself at least one time
'Cause honey, win or lose
Win or lose
It’s one hell of a ride
It’s one hell of a ride
And if you lack the strength of your own
Honey, hold out your hands and take it from an old man
