It's the Age That Makes the Difference - Ernest Tubb[00:00:00]
When I was just a little boy[00:00:07]
And life was bright and new[00:00:09]
Askin' foolish questions was all[00:00:12]
I could find to do[00:00:14]
One day I asked my grandpa[00:00:18]
Why he moved around so slow[00:00:20]
He said listen son I'll tell you[00:00:22]
If you really wanna know[00:00:25]
It's the age that makes the difference[00:00:29]
And the difference you can see[00:00:31]
I'm runnin' out of what the doctors call vitality[00:00:34]
I'm just like a dried up apple[00:00:40]
That keeps hangin' through a tree[00:00:42]
It's the age that makes the difference[00:00:45]
And the difference tells on me[00:00:47]
So when I started courtin'[00:00:57]
I was bashful and shy[00:00:59]
It tore me all to pieces[00:01:02]
When a girl winked her eye[00:01:04]
But when I started catchin' on[00:01:08]
I didn't learn to slow[00:01:11]
Pretty soon they said[00:01:13]
I was a reckled Romeo[00:01:15]
It was the age that makes the difference[00:01:19]
And the difference put me wise[00:01:21]
That the time was right for lovin'[00:01:24]
And the limit was the skies[00:01:26]
Pretty soon I found out[00:01:31]
What it took to not come cold[00:01:33]
Was the age that made the difference[00:01:35]
And the difference made me bold[00:01:37]
Not long ago I was a man[00:01:48]
That really got around[00:01:50]
But here I've laid I've noticed[00:01:53]
That I started slowin' down[00:01:55]
I find that ain't no trouble now[00:01:59]
To stay at home at night[00:02:01]
I'm mild and mellowed now[00:02:04]
But I will soon be over right[00:02:06]
It's the age that makes the difference[00:02:10]
And the difference makes me know[00:02:12]
That my high speed days are over[00:02:15]
And I'll have to take it slow[00:02:17]
I ain't really feeling older[00:02:21]
But I just don't feel the same[00:02:23]
It's the age that makes the difference[00:02:25]
Father time can make a change[00:02:28]
