Don't Dismiss Me Lyrics

I lived my life in sunshine and cold and icy rain

My body maybe weathered so I've learned to live with pain

Today my sun is setting, it's coming to an end

I'm loving all my family, my children and my friends

Don't dismiss me because I am old

Got wrinkles on my face but still have a heart of gold

Slide in this world by yourself and then you'll leave alone

Don't dismiss me because I am old

I went through hell, I won and lost and I have gone to war

In the winter of my life still don't know what we're fighting for

I don't despair or complain, feel sorry for myself

I just grab my old amigo from the kitchen shelf

We all take the same road that leads us to heaven

Walking a mile in my shoes it'll hurt!... that's a given

Sitting by the fire, thinking of memories

And strumming on my old guitar playing old melodies

Failures I had plenty of, successes they were few

I know that leaning on my faith, it always got me through
