Nowhere Near Done

(album: Nowhere Near Done - 2020)

This town wrote me off
A long time ago
Said it's a game for the young
And 40 is old
But these lines on my face
And this gray in my head
Says I've learned a few things
You don't know yet

I've rolled down this road
For a good stretch of miles
I know who I am
I've known for awhile
There's a song that I'll sing
Someday that'll be my last one
But I ain't nowhere near done

You don't drink the wine
'Til the age has set in
Unless you don't like
The good stuff my friend
You can't appreciate a life
That ain't been touched by some pain
And that pain comes with time
There ain't no other way

I've rolled down this road
For a good stretch of miles
I know who I am
I've known for awhile
There's a song that I'll sing
Someday that'll be my last one
But I ain't nowhere near done

Some day I'll look back
And I'll marvel at how far I've come
But I ain't nowhere
No, I ain't nowhere
No, I ain't nowhere
Near done...
