Don't Be Ashamed of Your Age

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

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
