It's The Age That Makes The Difference - Ernest Tubb
Written by：George Sherry/Vernon Claude
When I was just a little boy
And life was bright and new
Asking foolish questions was all I could find to do
One day I asked my grandpa
Why he moved around so slow
He said listen son
I'll tell you if you really wanna know
It's the age that makes the difference
And the difference you can see
I'm running out of what the doctors call vitality
I'm just like a dried up apple
That keeps hanging through a tree
It's the age that makes the difference
And the difference tells on me
So when I started courting
I was bashful and shy
It tore me all to pieces
When a girl winked her eye
But when I started catching on I didn't learn to slow
Pretty soon they said I was a reckled Romeo
It was the age that makes the difference
And the difference put me wise
That the time was right for loving
And the limit was the skies
Pretty soon I found out
What it took to not come cold
It was the age that made the difference
And the difference made me bold
Not long ago I was a man that really got around
But here I've laid
I've noticed that I started slowing down
I find that ain't no trouble now
To stay at home at night
I'm mild and mellowed now
But I will soon be over right
It's the age that makes the difference
And the difference makes me know
That my high speed days are over
And I'll have to take it slow
I ain't really feeling older
But I just don't feel the same
It's the age that makes the difference
Father time can make a change
