[Joe]

Take it from an old man

Time's just sand slippin' past

We wanna hold it in our hands

But no one ever sees what falls through the cracks

Take it from an old man

My mistakes have made me

And I am what I am

And though I don't believe in silver linings

[Joe]

I believe that there's something in you

[All]

I believe in you

[Joe]

Something good is tryin' to break through

[All]

Through

[Joe]

You might have to fight the good fight

And when you think you can't

[Joe & All]

You can

[Joe]

Take it from an old man

Take it from an old man

The days don't stretch any longer

[Joe & All]

They've left tracks upon my skin

[Joe]

But I reckon made me stronger

[Joe & All]

But I believe there's something in you

Something you should be seeing to

Bet it all on yourself at least one time

[Joe]

Cause honey win or lose

[All]

Win or lose

[Joe & All]

It's one hell of a ride

[Becky]

It's one hell of a ride

[Joe]

And if you lack the strength of your own

Honey hold out your hands and take it from an old man
