When He Was My Age - Confederate Railroad[00:00:00]
He worked all week for a hard day’s pay[00:00:17]
Walked to school five miles one way[00:00:20]
It must have rained every day[00:00:23]
When he was my age[00:00:26]
He quit school early to help Grandpa[00:00:30]
He was one man short on a crosscut saw[00:00:33]
There was wood to cut and ground to break[00:00:37]
When he was my age[00:00:40]
By the time he turned twelve in 39[00:00:43]
He’d been through Hell and Hoover times[00:00:47]
Drank his first homemade wine[00:00:50]
And started to shave[00:00:53]
The tales get taller every time they’re told[00:00:57]
The fish get longer as he grows old[00:01:00]
He loves to talk about the good old days[00:01:03]
When he was my age[00:01:06]
He was sixty pounds lighter with a head full of hair[00:01:13]
A dollar in his tank would take him anywhere[00:01:17]
But nine o’clock was coming on late[00:01:20]
When he was my age[00:01:23]
He talks about the time the Dodgers called[00:01:27]
He could have played pro ball[00:01:31]
But he had me to raise[00:01:34]
When he was my age[00:01:36]
By the time he turned twelve in 39[00:01:40]
He’d been through Hell and Hoover times[00:01:44]
Drank his first homemade wine[00:01:47]
And started to shave[00:01:50]
The tales get taller every time they’re told[00:01:54]
The fish get longer as he grows old[00:01:57]
He loves to talk about the good old days[00:02:00]
When he was my age[00:02:03]
When he was my age he had a lot more living left to do[00:02:07]
But hard work and hard times[00:02:14]
Robbed him of his youth[00:02:17]
He says it seems like yesterday[00:02:22]
When he was my age[00:02:27]
When he was my age[00:02:33]
When he was my age[00:02:40]
When he was my age[00:02:47]
When he was my age[00:03:00]
