《When He Was My Age》歌词

[00:00:00] When He Was My Age - Confederate Railroad

[00:00:17] He worked all week for a hard day’s pay

[00:00:20] Walked to school five miles one way

[00:00:23] It must have rained every day

[00:00:26] When he was my age

[00:00:30] He quit school early to help Grandpa

[00:00:33] He was one man short on a crosscut saw

[00:00:37] There was wood to cut and ground to break

[00:00:40] When he was my age

[00:00:43] By the time he turned twelve in 39

[00:00:47] He’d been through Hell and Hoover times

[00:00:50] Drank his first homemade wine

[00:00:53] And started to shave

[00:00:57] The tales get taller every time they’re told

[00:01:00] The fish get longer as he grows old

[00:01:03] He loves to talk about the good old days

[00:01:06] When he was my age

[00:01:13] He was sixty pounds lighter with a head full of hair

[00:01:17] A dollar in his tank would take him anywhere

[00:01:20] But nine o’clock was coming on late

[00:01:23] When he was my age

[00:01:27] He talks about the time the Dodgers called

[00:01:31] He could have played pro ball

[00:01:34] But he had me to raise

[00:01:36] When he was my age

[00:01:40] By the time he turned twelve in 39

[00:01:44] He’d been through Hell and Hoover times

[00:01:47] Drank his first homemade wine

[00:01:50] And started to shave

[00:01:54] The tales get taller every time they’re told

[00:01:57] The fish get longer as he grows old

[00:02:00] He loves to talk about the good old days

[00:02:03] When he was my age

[00:02:07] When he was my age he had a lot more living left to do

[00:02:14] But hard work and hard times

[00:02:17] Robbed him of his youth

[00:02:22] He says it seems like yesterday

[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] When he was my age
