When I was a younger man
I knew everything
Somewhere along the way
I don't know when
Forgot all I knew
Even you
I should be wiser now
But that ain’t true

When I was a younger man
I could do anything
Throw me a line and I'd reel one in
Had a lot to prove
And I'd follow through
I should be stronger now
But that ain’t true

What is it 'bout this old man?
That can't win again
Did I done use up all my luck
And cool down so much I can't stand?

What is it 'bout this old fool?
That can't rise above
Just pick myself up
And win again
