Think Twice
Think Twice
Do you think I’m slipping?
Losing my memory with old age?
Do you think my better days are behind me?
That I should be written off the page?
Do you think I can’t see what’s going on?
Don’t think I can read between the lines?
Wasting away quietly into nonexistence
Think you see clearly all the signs?
Don’t be too cocky
Don’t be too big for your shoes
This tired man is aging
But I’m not ready to lose
On a good day I can still beat you
With a arm tied behind my back
So you better think twice
Before you go on the attack
Experience is on my side
Wisdom comes with years
I’ve paid my dues
With blood, sweat, and tears
