Bare feet, Youth and an Old Pair of Shoes
He looked at me and said I may be old but I'm not blind
Somethin's troublin' ya, son, somethin's on your mind
Dunno what it is but it looks like ya woke up in a bed fulla blues
better come to terms with it now while you're still in a young man's shoes
I can't give you advice based purely upon my years
Wisdom isn't gained by time, it's earned through fire and tears
But there's one truth I can offer and I hope you listen well
you can't find a path to heaven while you're on the road to hell
I'm not young and I'll soon be movin' on
but time is still your friend, both your mind and back are strong
Forget about the past 'cause your future's still at stake
the world lies before you, what you get is what you'll make
The good times don't last forever, I'm a witness to that fact
and you don't wanna spend the autumn of your life tryin' to get 'em back
So run down every chance and opportunity, ya ain't got anything to lose
but your footwear's gotta change, you can't walk forever in a young man's shoes
He shook his head as he reached for a smoke
chuckled aloud and said ain't life a hell of a joke
the young bucks try to age and us old bones pine for youth
it's kind of a humorous irony if ya like that sorta truth
He paused for a moment then spoke again
I'm only tellin' ya this 'cause you could use a friend
I know that look, I've seen it before
you've still got miles to walk but your feet are sore
And I may be old but I've learned wise
the guy who wins is the guy who tries
so don't wake up tomorrow in a bed full of blues
'cause even bare feet beats an old pair of shoes
