Don't Be Ashamed of Your Age - Ernest Tubb

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 all rounder in your old hometown

Don’t mind the gray in your hair

Just think of all 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

And now listen Mr. Smith and Mr. Brown

Don’t let the years get you down

'Cause life ain’t begun, until you’re forty, son

That’s when you really start to go uptown

And don’t wish that you were a lad

While boy, you’ve lost the old girls they’ve ever had

And what’s more, you’ve graduated from that old sucker stage

So don’t be ashamed of your age

Brother, don’t be ashamed of your age
