[Verse 1]
He said, "When I was your age, I used to sin like the devil
I used to fight like a rebel, had to have it my way"
He said, "When I was your age, I used to shoot straight of whiskey
I told the world it could kiss me right on my skull ring, ha ha!"
[Verse 2]
He said, "When I was your age, I thought I would live forever
There's no way that I would ever not feel that strong"
He said, "When I was your age, I was sure by now
I'd have it all figured out, but boy was I wrong
[Chorus]
But the more I live, the less I know
I keep makin' life up as I go
I don't know what tomorrow brings but
Son, if I've learnt anything, it's that God's in charge of everything, yeah"
[Verse 3]
He said, "When I was your age, I had a woman that loved me
She couldn't get enough of me, and my biggest mistake was bein'
Too dumb to see that love is all that really matters
I wish I'd known what really mattered when I was your age, yeah!
[Chorus]
The more I live, the more I've learnt
You can walk back all the bridges that you've burnt
I don't know what tomorrow brings but
Son, if I know anything, it's that God's in charge of everything, yeah yeah"
[Verse 4]
He said, "When I was your age, I never thought I'd be an old man
With wrinkles, hair on my hands, wish I could turn back the page
I'd drink a beer with my dad and tell him how much I love him
Just like I shoulda done when, when I was your age, yeah!
[Chorus]
The more I live, the less I know
I keep makin' life up as I go
I don't know what tomorrow brings but
Son, if I've learnt anything, it's that God's in charge of everything, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Yeah, in charge of everything
When I was your age"
He said, "When I was your age, I used to sin like the devil
I used to fight like a rebel, had to have it my way"
He said, "When I was your age, I used to shoot straight of whiskey
I told the world it could kiss me right on my skull ring, ha ha!"
[Verse 2]
He said, "When I was your age, I thought I would live forever
There's no way that I would ever not feel that strong"
He said, "When I was your age, I was sure by now

[Chorus]
But the more I live, the less I know

Yeah, in charge of everything
When I was your age"
