Willie Nelson - You Don't Know Me: The Songs Of Cindy Walker (2006) - Don't Be Ashamed Of Your Age lyrics

  • Don't be ashamed of your age
    Don't let the years get you down
    That old gang you knew
    They still think of you
    As a rounder in your old home town

    Don't mind the grey in your hair
    Just think of the fun you had puttin' it there
    And as for that old book of time
    Boy, you never skipped a page
    So, don't be ashamed of your age
    Brother, don't be ashamed of your age

    Now, listen Mr Smith and Mr Brown
    Don't let the years get you down
    'Cause life ain't begun until you're forty some
    That's when you really start to go to town
    Now don't wish that you were a lad
    Why boy, you've lost more girls
    Than they've ever had
    And once more you've graduated
    From that ol' stubborn stage
    So, don't be ashamed of your age
    Brother, don't be ashamed of your age
