Letra de It's The Age That Makes The Difference

When I was just a little boy and life was bright and new Askin' foolish questions was all I could find to do One day I asked my grandpa why he moved around so slow He said listen son I'll tell you if you really wanna know It's the age that makes the difference and the difference you can see I'm runnin' out of what the doctors call vitality I'm just like a dried up apple that keeps hangin' through a tree It's the age that makes the difference and the difference tells on me [ steel ] So when I started courtin' I was bashful and shy It tore me all to pieces when a girl winked her eye But when I started catchin' on I didn't learn to slow Pretty soon they said I was a reckled Romeo It's the age that makes the difference and the difference put me wise That the time was right for lovin' and the limit was the skies Pretty soon I found out what it took to not come cold It was the age that made the difference and the difference made me bold [ guitar ] Not long ago I was a man that really got around But here I've laid I've noticed that I started slowin' down I find that ain't no trouble now to stay at home at night I'm mild and mellowed now but I will soon be over right It's the age that makes the difference and the difference makes me know That my high speed days are over and I'll have to take it slow I ain't really feeling older but I just don't feel the same It's the age that makes the difference father time can make a change
