Wrinkles

Gettin' out of the tub, all drawn up like a raisin
Showed my fingers to my daddy while he was shavin'
Said, "Look at my toes dad what's wrong with my skin
Will this go away, will I be normal again?"
Well, he picked me up and set me down on the hamper
Wiped off his face while he gave me the answer
It was the first time I noticed the lines in his grin
As he dabbed a little foam on the end of my chin and he said
Those are wrinkles, ain't nothin' to be scared of
They're just a product of time and true love
Some are gonna come and go, some are gonna come and stay
Son, you're still young, you're gonna be okay
Well, I walked down the hall, saw my momma gettin' ready
For a long over due date dinner with daddy
She was cussin' those crows feet, didn't know I was listenin'
Started talkin' about her younger years
And how much she missed them and I said
Those are wrinkles, ain't nothin' to be scared of
They're just a product of time and true love
Some are gonna come and go, some are gonna come and stay
Mom you still look young, you're gonna be okay
As I get a little older, I'm startin' to get a few
And I'm sure I gave mom and dad at least one or two
We're all gonna have 'em, there ain't no doubt
But those are wrinkles in life, ain't nothin' you can't iron out
Those are wrinkles, ain't nothin' to be scared of
Some are gonna come and go, some are gonna come and stay
I still feel young, gonna be okay
