"WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE"

Click here to listen: When I Was Your Age

Verse:              When I was just a lad of fifteen, I’d had it with school

                        I never liked to study my books and teachers were cruel

                        One day I left the bus in disgust and I told my dad I’d like to be free

                        My dad got a smile on his face as he said to me

Chorus:            WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE I just couldn’t wait

                         to get out of school and go on life’s way

                        Since then I’ve grown to know how easy life was when I was your age

Verse:               He said these are the best years of life, don’t throw them away

                        Make the most of your life when you’re young, and you’ll be thankful one day

                        I finally got out on my own and I found there’s many dues to pay

                        And when I’m payin’ those dues ‘til the end I’ll still hear him say

(CHORUS)

Bridge:             When I was that age, I’m glad I made the most of it

                        ‘Cause now it helps me through no matter how hard life gets

                        And when my son gets to be that age, I know I’m gonna say

 (CHORUS)
