I am 68 and I move a little slower now but I am still moving! I am 12 years sober and I am trying to take better care of myself! I have a good wife now to share my life with! I didn’t think I’d ever make it to 60 between the alcohol and the drugs! When I finally sobered up I told my brother that I finally had a good life and he said ( what I have left of it) I said I have quality not quantity! I thank God for every day that he gives me!
Good for you, Marine, Im 82 years old and just diagnosed with a bad case of bladder cancer! It seems difficult to fight the inevitable end! I never went to sick bay in my 4 years active duty infantry 0351! I retired from the USMCR in 1993! I wish you the best, brother & keep up the fight!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My friends have been getting thin now. Lost my best friend of fifty years. 2 years ago. Hit me hard. I've lost mom dad granny and pop's. Aunts and uncles. It's getting lonely here. Thank God I have kids grandkids and now a great grandson. Just gets hard sometimes even with my family I have now. Sorry I guess I am feeling sorry for myself. Love them all
@@mareebrocklehurst9370 Thanks I know I am a lucky man for sure. Just miss the ones that have gone on. It'll be great to see them again. Thank you again for the reply.
I will be 71 in January and this song hits me hard. I remember what my father said. Getting old ain't for w**ses. This was echoed by my late mother when she said, getting old is hell.
@@rebelsixtynine1 Embrace it, and I agree with your feelings about the woke society. I was just commenting on how time flies, and the physical pains that were not there until now, even though there is Balance of Nature pills nowadays. Also, I was commenting on the fact that every year now sees old friends lost. As the Blackmore Night song goes, Too Many Goodbyes too Few Hellos.
I’m 76 in 2024. Im thankful & Celebrate every time I wake up & I can still move & I Make the most of every day. Help others who can’t do things for themselves. Try doing new things. Stretch yourself. It’s nothing to do with your age? It’s your attitude. Age isn’t to blame it’s people not pushing themselves? Life’s what you put into it. Put nothing in? Get nothing out!
At 67 I do not remember getting old. I am called a senior citizen. I am on Medicare. My bones hurt. Folks I went to school are dying. Mom, Dad, Sister and Brother are gone When did all this happen?
I'm 74. Clint Eastwood said "Dont let the old man in!" But he comes like a stealth bomber! I didn't let him in. He just arrived so I guess its best to make friends!
Ain't it a shame when we really learn how to live right, it's almost too late, only memories. now find JESUS, nothing else matters. We wanna miss hell. We gotta walk on those streets of gold.LOOK FOR THE THINGS THAT ETERNAL,THAT'S OUR GOLD.
I worked 50+ years doing heavy haul and oversize trucking. Worked to 70 before I gave everything up and called it quits. 6 months after that my body came to me and said, Bill you have been beating the hell out of me since you could walk. Always looking for ways to hurt me. Riding a bike with no brakes and hitting a wall face first, playing Baseball, football.Climbing trees and falling out. The the car itch started and you beat the hell out of our hands. You joined the military, its not like basic was easy on me. Then we wake up in the pouring rain in the middle of a jungle being shot at. Cuts, bruises, stitches and a broken foot holy shit you beat the hell out of me. Then I get out come home and bought a truck😂😂😂 and spent the next 50+ years bouncing around eating bad food and getting no rest. Always throwing heavy chains and binders. Smashing fingers, and busting up everything. Then this old body just said slow down asshole or I'm going to shut everything down. So I got out and retired. Had a good 6 months when the body said MY TURN to mess you up. The last two years have been in and out of hospitals and ERs. Pneumonia, by pass, lung transplant, Covid, now waiting for the first of 2 total shoulder replacements. 16 trips to the hospital where I stayed more then 5 days. Talk about don't let the Old Men In, I'm beginning to think he's here. The only thing I can say is I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was. I keep fighting the old bastard. If the weather is good I'll take my 64 Dodge out and get into her grab some gears and burn some rubber. That chases the old man. Sometimes I go to where we used to race as kids and drive through. Good memories.
When did I "let the old man in"? Wish I didnt let myself GET OLD, sadly, health problems kicked me hard at an early age of 50. God and Jesus please save me.
After wasting the first 28 years (17 1/2 years in a dozen prisons) I met a prison school teacher who told me God could change my life. He did, hers too...we've been married 44 years, 3 kids, 6 grandchildren. At 80 and 77 we are experiencing that aging process and praising God as we go on.
All the people who made a comment on here are the men and women who made this country great, I thank you. I'm not that old but not to young either, aha, this new generation will never understand the sacrifices and dues that were paid in blood. Thanks, and God bless from FL.
Just turned 3/4 (75) of a century January 2024 the gift of longevity was given to me ……I’ve seen and lived a lot in all these God given years ……grew up in the projects survived the drugs the gang wars and the oldies but goodies music era…when music made sense …survived Vietnam (101st Airborne 68-69 ) sleepless nights from bad dreams and memories of what they call PTSD ..God spared me from dark thoughts and a dirt nap …and has given me an attitude of gratitude for living …not the man I use to be ……don’t look good naked anymore ….lost my hearing …my eyesight…Some if not all of my teeth ….some times can’t remember why I walked into another room…when you get old that’s what you can expect ….amongst other things …..backaches ….arthritis…indigestion …but most of all wisdom that I didn’t have in my younger years …the wisdom to appreciate that I can walk and talk get out of bed in the morning and thank God for all the good things I’ve been blessed with ….A loving wife …loving children and grandchildren…..loving son -in-law and daughter-in-law …a few good friends … Yeah don’t know when I got old …..just glad I’m still here …thank you Lord …I know where I’ve been just don’t know where I’m going …lol …so to all of you not happy about your gift of longevity….Party hardy cause the days are getting shorter….. God will let you know when he wants you …..
Brother, every day is golden, we've got to choose to see thru the bad times for what they truly are... they're just a stepping stone along our way to help polish us up!!! I'm only 44 years old but after my own "father" tried to murder me on 3 different occasions, my body feels like I've been around for centuries... I feel I had to grow up way too soon and protect the ones around me, including my brothers, sisters and my Mother... I, like you, hope and pray I see the gates of Heaven, I've suffered enough Hell here for 10 life times... God Bless you all!!!
At 88 I,m still going strong thanks to the blessings I have received from God. I use to run from hell to breakfast and back. Thanks to my savior Jesus, I,m in good heath and life couldn’t,t be better!
I'm going on 59 still young I say so but this song tells it all I used to have it all decades ago I was well known I had it all now I'm just living life waiting for my day to come I have never feared death when the big man upstairs calls me I'll go with open arms and thank God for everyday he gave me everything is behind me now
73 now. Am known by the few left as the man who lived the free est of anyone that they knew. Raced the hotrods loved the pick- ups, chased the beautiful Glorious Unreplaceable Women. Never passed a hungry person without feedingvthem. Was known never pass a child in need. Last 3 days active UEMC cost me 9 months 21 days in Military Hospital. Took three years to walk again Said I would never walk again. Went out and rode a Bull in celebration when i threw crutches away and NEVER Complained because I knew I always volunteered. Smoking a hand rolled cigarette and smiling at the memories. Bless ya all
I'm 68. Body hurts, eyesite dims. Family around, but they're busy with their lives. I wouldnt want to be growing up in this world today. God help us, let this country come together. Growing is something not granted to many, i believe being forgotten is worse
I don't know if it's good or bad ,but I really can relate to this song at 70. Having a bourbon and a 👍 cigar sitting on the front porch. Being thankful for being blessed 🙌 life has came full circle from losing everything to being restored more. PRAISE GOD
I'm reading the comments and listening to this song. Lots of thoughts and emotions going through my mind. Getting old surely isn't easy but looking back at my life it's been good. Could complain but life's too short, I'm thankful I've gotten this far. I'm 68 years old and ask God to continue blessings me and thank him for all he's done for me and my family. Bless all of you, remember the good times and keep moving forward. 🙏🏼 ❤
just wait 82 n fadibg very slowly,,live for 63,,yr circle gets smaller,unable to do things,less n less.what i wouldn`t gic to be 63 again,,live in the moment,tans all u got,,spend yr time like $$$,
I'm 67 , parents are gone ,two brothers have passed , just lost my wife to brain cancer ,short six months of 25 years. Getting old is not for the faint
I’ll be 70 in December, I want to be like you and ignore my age and enjoy every day! I love the saying “I don’t know how to act my age, I’ve never been this old before..
You are so right, I'm only 82 years young do my own house 🏡 work, 🏪 shopping 🛒 gardening, still driving 🚘 no drinking or tobacco use, go to 🎶 singing with a group, some in their 90 years young LIFE REALLY IS LAUGHABLE WITH LOTS OF LOVE, don't forget the grounding, if you were to poor to buy shoes, then that was a blessing, cheers everyone and all the best ◇◇◇◇ *** ...
@@123mycrazygirls 2 Corinthians 5:4 For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.
How true this song is. When did I get old. It creeps up. I feel about 60 in my head. But stairs are hard. Balance isn’t what it used to be. I’ll be 80 next May. I’m grateful for it all. ❤
I'm 66 with Parkinsons. The excruciating pain and lost memories have pushed me much further ahead than I should be. But as Toby Keith asked/sung, "how old would you be if you didn't know the day you were born?"
You keep hanging on! PD is a close and evil presence in my life. We are fighting it kicking and screaming also. Sending a prayer up for you if that's OK.
I’m 73 years old lost my wife to brain cancer 26 years ago and the kids are all grown up and seldom call. You get old and realize everything has changed, I get up in the morning and look over to the empty place that used to be my wife’s side of the bed. I still keep going for my grandkids.
You are so right. I'll be 80 next year and this says it all. Where did the time go? I'm thankful I lived my life in my 30's and 40's, traveled the world and experienced it all. I sure don't have the energy to do that now!
I'm 57 and can barely get outta bed. Im so jealous of all you 70's & 80's!!! But Dang It, believe me when I say I've had ALL the fun!!! Still more to come as I prepare to go unto all the world and teach the word of the Lord! Pray for me.
No one is OLD. That's the system that wants us old and treats us old so they can remove us out of the system. Disconnect from everything and just live your life as you please and guess what? You'll live forever and be healthy.
Dang right it ain't, and that's why we shouldn't give it the time of day. I've connected though, with the good stuff, and still working disconnecting with "what were 'supposed' to do"@@MikeSpider-e6o
Keep fighting dude! I had my first of three cancers ( prostate) in 200O followed with testicular, then in 2018 throat cancer. I am five years out doing great. Age 74, hoping and expecting a bit more. Keep on Keeping on. Best wishes.
Soon turning 73. On a multiday motorcycle trip with my 19 year old son. Thank god I can still crank a crotch rocket with a teenager. Nothin to lose or gain. No one to impress or disappoint. Most of my riding buddies have passed on. Miss them all. I've had a wonderful life. Hope for a few more long rides.
I'm going to be 63 in July. All my elders from WW2, the Korean war vets have passed. Several Vietnam vets too. Really good men. I miss them. Wish I could get them together for one more time. I appreciate this song. But it had me welling up in my eyes. Struck a chord for sure. Thanks for it 👍
@@jackiemcadams6727 😂 Ye Ars old. That's a good one !!! I'm glad you have some happiness there. I have a big orange cat myself. Remember Morris the cat from the 70's cat food commercials! Or how about "Harry and Tonto" 1974... with Art Carnie (from The Honeymooners) UA-cam has a trailer of that one. This UA-cam is a wonderful. Have a nice day Ma'am 🌞
There's a new life in eternity for those of us who know JESUS. We'll get a new body. And be young again. The whole purpose of being on this Earth Is to serve & and know CHRIST. HE will make all things new and I love HIM ❤
Turned 71 was 3 days ago Feb 21. Wow so real that song. Man it makes you think. I also lost my only child my son and my husband thus past year jan.2023. I'm alone now after 46vyrs marriage. Got Thus song hits me hard 😢
i'm 73 yr. old have had a major stroke DR.sad i should've died paralied my left side took my voice my wife had to teach me how to talk walk. can't play my guitar,any more but i can sing and praise my lord GLORY GLORY HE TOUCHED ME AMEN
I'm 59 and working 2 jobs. Proud mom of a daughter and son and Nana (1 granddaughter). My mom is alive ( 3 times cancer survior) Daddy passed of Parkinson disease, diabetes and heart disease. I'm the middle sister of 5. 3 girls 2 boys. We lost our brother at age 65 in February and my heart is broken 💔 yes, we all have drank, smoked dope and more. I'm now a Christian and sing in church. Praise God and thank him everyday for his mercy and grace. Open your eyes before its too late. Love this song.
I was just thinking about this very thing yesterday, what the happened to the time! We're did it all go. How In the hell did I get to be this old. And what has happened to our country and the way it used to be! There's a new pandemic in America, mental disease!
To many sour comments. Former suit and tie executive. Got my 1st tattoo and motorcycle at 69. Now 70, I'm running a 10 k this Saturday. Today I was privileged to take my 18 month old grandson to his physical therapy with hugs, tears and few laughs. I'm on my patio watching a sunset. Love each minute. I will not be found in my last day in a cloud of Cheeto dust on a recliner! Passing is inevitable. Regret is not. If you can't run, walk, if you can't walk crawl, if you can't crawl, do wheelchair wheelies. Bless all and go out with a bang, not a whimper.Peace out.
I just turned 40 this past September, and I feel middle aged due to today's circumstances all around. I manage plenty, and yet I feel like there's not enough time to dedicate to my daughters of 7 and 10 years of age. Where does time go. Me carrying my babies feels like just yesterday. We're here for a short stint, and good music makes it worth stepping out that door every morning, 7days a week🔊🔊🎶🙏🎶
I just turned 60. I cried. Time goes so fast. Guess I should feel blessed God has given me all those years. I just sit and think about my grandkids and the dumb thought comes thru my head that if I have 15-20 years left that’s not much time.
I just realized today that God does give us a second chance through our Grandchildren to be not so young and dumb as we were while raising our children.❤
Will be 82 next May! Learning to play Don't Let the Old Man In on my 3 string Cigar Box Guitar and Praying for a few more good years! One day at a time. 😊
Getting old, dear god when did this happen. I lost everyone that I had, and loved. But, I guess God gives you gives you as much as he see's You can handle. When will it be my turn, God. I have taken't care of everyone. Or is there more for me to do?
This song is so poignant. My dad is 87 & 3 friends of his just recently passed in 3 weeks. I'll be 63 & I worry all the time about time that it is short & I feel I better try to get everything in before something happens. It's scary. This guy is amazing, talented & the song is beautiful & hits hard. Tell everyone you love how you feel you never know when tomorrow might not come.
Yeah I can relate to this song. On the back of the door in my attic I began to write on the back of the door at 15 things about my life and what's goin on. Every few years I'd write something. I'm 67 and still writing. I stood there and read the whole thing I thought to myself where did the time go.
Man has to win every battle with the grim reaper. He needs to only win once. Live every day to the fullest because one day he will win. A beautifully written song. Thanks
My feelings about this song are our generation worked so hard and like me worked full-time plus a part time weekend job all my life just so my kids and wife could live a happy fruitful life!! Not ONE regret so kids are grown and successful I'm very proud of them. Turning 58 in two days and I'm the gimpy one now 😂😂 but I still get up at 3AM and go to work and its not a desk job..🎉
I'm seventy and she's been a hell of a ride. Grew up on a farm in Saskatchewan. Tremendous upbringing. Great wild west folks. Worked the rigs in Albert's and bc. Hunted the mountains of alberta on horseback and met and partied with some awesome cowboys. Owned and drove hard my 69 charger n 71 super bee. It's been a hell of a great life. We had great hair, great cars and great music. Still enjoying some of it yet and hope God willing to do it for a few years yet
Amen Mark,i have three grandsons kicked addition n alcohol in the backside yrs Sober,keep on Living Life,remember quality!!! Bless you n yours🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🫠👍💕🎉❤️
Never felt old until Covid in ‘21. Haven’t been the same since. Seeing those I love die, my own health disintegrating sure makes me wonder where all the time went. I use to wonder what old people think about & now I know!
About 30 years ago, I was fishing with Dad at Williams Dam in Indiana. We were talking to a senior gentleman at the Williams Bait Ship. He looked at me and said to me. "You'll get old like me someday" I smiled and shook his hand. Then returned to the truck and left him and Dad talking. Playing this song brings back that memory.
Sure am feelin it. at 70 in the spring. But I haven't slowed yet. At least at most things. never give up. Stand tall stay motivated. Age means ya have a lot to offer the world , Stay encouraged with every breath. and be thankful your still breathing.
I am only 63 my osteoarthritis pain makes my eyes weep just trying to endure. Now I know what older people back in my 30's were talking about getting aches and pains in their 60's!😊
My dad Charles Yates best crop duster you would ever know in one of the best gospel singers you ever know he's incredible is 86 years old and can't fly anymore he knows everything about an airplane is a genius I love him with all my heart thank you for the song
May the creator watch over all of you. This life is just part of the Journey we take. Thank you for raising families, working and contributing to this life. When the end comes go home like a Warrior.
I know the pain in life, I keep believing some how I keep going doing the things our good Lord lets me do in this life. I keep my foot on the petal of life! I am 65 I still do the dangerous things in life I know one day it just might take me home.
I'm 62 going through a real hard time don't know if I'm going make through wife don't seem to care about about being with me or what I think but I know but with God's grace grace there is a chance
My father my daddy they call him Chaz . The best crop duster that ever lived. He is 86 years old . He's one of the best men I've ever known has a wonderful Voice singing gospel music same with the best he just gotten out of the hospital with double pneumonia and he's back home now he's an amazing man and I love him with all my heart so the rest of his sons thanks for the music beautiful.
As a 79 yr old Vietnam Vet, it seems too me it was a flip of the switch! I'm certain it was a process - but one day I wasn't then the next - I was OLD, which I accept. Good song,
I'm already 71 and I'm going down hill but I'm fighting hard to get better cause i have grt gr children that I haven't seen and two more that hasn't gave me any so I'm praying hard for God to give me few more years amen
I am 68 and I move a little slower now but I am still moving! I am 12 years sober and I am trying to take better care of myself! I have a good wife now to share my life with! I didn’t think I’d ever make it to 60 between the alcohol and the drugs! When I finally sobered up I told my brother that I finally had a good life and he said ( what I have left of it) I said I have quality not quantity! I thank God for every day that he gives me!
Amen Brother
I'm 69 years young now,
What took us so long?

Honestly that's the sad part of getting old. You watch everyone you love pass on. But hopefully there are you're family to help ease your mind
Same here..63 in a few months.. I'm young at heart and Soul..but this suit.. damn.. 😢

Yeah don’t know when I got old …..just glad I’m still here …thank you Lord …I know where I’ve been just don’t know where I’m going …lol …so to all of you not happy about your gift of longevity….Party hardy cause the days are getting shorter….. God will let you know when he wants you …..
Thank you for this share. Thank you for your service to our country. Love the part of trying to Remer why you walked into another room.

A very wise man.❤❤
GOD!
I'm 77yrs old and I heard about the golden years and haven't seen any yet but I'll have my golden years throughout eternity when I get to Heaven AMEN!
I'm going to turn 76 soon and the only Golden things I'v found are those running down my leg.
Same, God bless you
Brother, every day is golden, we've got to choose to see thru the bad times for what they truly are... they're just a stepping stone along our way to help polish us up!!! I'm only 44 years old but after my own "father" tried to murder me on 3 different occasions, my body feels like I've been around for centuries...
I feel I had to grow up way too soon and protect the ones around me, including my brothers, sisters and my Mother...
I, like you, hope and pray I see the gates of Heaven, I've suffered enough Hell here for 10 life times...
God Bless you all!!!
God Bless you
I meant hell
I am old!! I'm 75 . I remember my past years. The Heaven and the Hell.
Where did these years go? They went by so quickly
At 88 I,m still going strong thanks to the blessings I have received from God. I use to run from hell to breakfast and back. Thanks to my savior Jesus, I,m in good heath and life couldn’t,t be better!
Dam 88 what a ride
77years on this earth, luckier then alot who never made it close to this!❤
Age is just a number. Keep on !
❤
I'm going on 59 still young I say so but this song tells it all I used to have it all decades ago I was well known I had it all now I'm just living life waiting for my day to come I have never feared death when the big man upstairs calls me I'll go with open arms and thank God for everyday he gave me everything is behind me now
I'm 59 I know what you are saying. When it comes we will be Free.
73 now. Am known by the few left as the man who lived the free est of anyone that they knew. Raced the hotrods loved the pick- ups, chased the beautiful Glorious Unreplaceable Women. Never passed a hungry person without feedingvthem. Was known never pass a child in need. Last 3 days active UEMC cost me 9 months 21 days in Military Hospital. Took three years to walk again Said I would never walk again. Went out and rode a Bull in celebration when i threw crutches away and NEVER Complained because I knew I always volunteered. Smoking a hand rolled cigarette and smiling at the memories. Bless ya all
Your looking good to me 💔 Jackie McAdams and David McAdamss 4:02 ❤❤❤❤❤❤ 4:05
True American spirit !
Life is like a roll of toilet paper . The closer you get to the end …the faster it goes 😢
Haha!🥳
😂
So true
Facts
Ok that does it, No more toilet paper for me 🤣lol
I'm 68. Body hurts, eyesite dims. Family around, but they're busy with their lives. I wouldnt want to be growing up in this world today. God help us, let this country come together. Growing is something not granted to many, i believe being forgotten is worse
I don't know if it's good or bad ,but I really can relate to this song at 70. Having a bourbon and a 👍 cigar sitting on the front porch. Being thankful for being blessed 🙌 life has came full circle from losing everything to being restored more. PRAISE GOD
Jack and a good cigar can't be beat !!!!!!🥃🥃🥃
I'm 71 n wondering what happened to the country I fought for went😢
It’s still here, I promise. All is not lost
It is coming back, hang on, you don’t want to miss it.
God bless you Sir. And thank you for your service. From a proud American of 65 years.
Be 80 in January, am blessed to be here , give the Lord all the credit! Either get old our die young🥴
I'm reading the comments and listening to this song. Lots of thoughts and emotions going through my mind. Getting old surely isn't easy but looking back at my life it's been good. Could complain but life's too short, I'm thankful I've gotten this far. I'm 68 years old and ask God to continue blessings me and thank him for all he's done for me and my family. Bless all of you, remember the good times and keep moving forward. 🙏🏼 ❤
Exactly what I was thinking
Don’t mind getting old but the side effects are annoying!
none us right just riding the train . God Bless all Ole guys rule don't give up .
Amém que Deus abençoe você sempre em nome de Jesus
Well said my friend also 68 they said I'd never make 18 but I'm still here amen my God bless 🙏❣️
Hit 92 still ticking,a great song.
only 72 here - but no one in my family has passed at less than 93 since the 70s. Guess I'm gonna be here a while.
I turned 65 January 1st. This is when I knew I got old! I pray for the children behind me now!
Only other song that made me stop and look back at my life. I’m 63 and wonder how I got this far with how I live my life. This song is one great song.
just wait 82 n fadibg very slowly,,live for 63,,yr circle gets smaller,unable to do things,less n less.what i wouldn`t gic to be 63 again,,live in the moment,tans all u got,,spend yr time like $$$,
I'm 67 , parents are gone ,two brothers have passed , just lost my wife to brain cancer ,short six months of 25 years. Getting old is not for the faint
I'm so sorry,
Peace be with you!
Jesus is the King of Glory!
Our Living hope!
This world is not our home. We are going home soon.
WOW I COULD OF NOT SAID IT ANY BETTER GOD BLESS YA
Prayers to you ...GOD BLESS EVERYONE ¡¡¡☆☆☆❤
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤
I'm 80 love the song and can relate to it, but I try to ignore my age and enjoy life what will be will be
I’ll be 70 in December, I want to be like you and ignore my age and enjoy every day!
I love the saying “I don’t know how to act my age, I’ve never been this old before..
Absolutely ❤
@@RobinThomas-hf8kc ask yourself how old you would be, if you didn't know the day you were born!!
Yup
There's only one alternative to not getting old, I'm 71 and still enjoying life, so stop the moaning and enjoy it while you can.
You are so right, I'm only 82 years young do my own house 🏡 work, 🏪 shopping 🛒 gardening, still driving 🚘 no drinking or tobacco use, go to 🎶 singing with a group, some in their 90 years young LIFE REALLY IS LAUGHABLE WITH LOTS OF LOVE, don't forget the grounding, if you were to poor to buy shoes, then that was a blessing, cheers everyone and all the best ◇◇◇◇ *** ...
Speak for yourself , are you in pain have you got friends, you must be doing fine if your enjoying it
WHEN DID I GET OLD...I'VE ALWAYS BEEN OLÈ THERES A BIG DIFFERENCE...
Old aint no joke.
Turned 70 in November. I've been to alot of funerals. I thank God for each day.
I have been to many funerals. Gets harder as I realize my mortality. God keeps us here for a reason.
@@123mycrazygirls 2 Corinthians 5:4
For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.
How true this song is. When did I get old. It creeps up. I feel about 60 in my head. But stairs are hard. Balance isn’t what it used to be. I’ll be 80 next May.
I’m grateful for it all. ❤
I'm 66 with Parkinsons. The excruciating pain and lost memories have pushed me much further ahead than I should be. But as Toby Keith asked/sung, "how old would you be if you didn't know the day you were born?"
Hang on!
Thanks! I told someone else exactly those words today. Thats all many can do. Dont give up!!!@johnjobe3195
May God grant you a peace that transcends all understanding... Praying.
Don’t give up man. Keep enjoying what you can. 😊
You keep hanging on! PD is a close and evil presence in my life. We are fighting it kicking and screaming also. Sending a prayer up for you if that's OK.
I’m 73 years old lost my wife to brain cancer 26 years ago and the kids are all grown up and seldom call. You get old and realize everything has changed, I get up in the morning and look over to the empty place that used to be my wife’s side of the bed. I still keep going for my grandkids.
@@jimswank8151 when your older your children are grown up and have life's of their own
I'm 66 years old still driving like a still pipe. Former Marine. Never give up. Til they put 6 foot down.
I'm 80, and this says it all. But it was worth it. I love life.. live for today and thank the lord for all !!!
Thank you
You are so right. I'll be 80 next year and this says it all. Where did the time go? I'm thankful I lived my life in my 30's and 40's, traveled the world and experienced it all. I sure don't have the energy to do that now!
@@georgiafrancis9059 my husband was 80 last year and l will be 80 next Feb. Amazing 😢😅
Always thank god
Amen
Oh damn, this hits home hard.
I'm 57 and can barely get outta bed. Im so jealous of all you 70's & 80's!!! But Dang It, believe me when I say I've had ALL the fun!!! Still more to come as I prepare to go unto all the world and teach the word of the Lord! Pray for me.
This song is so true I'm turning 77years old., where and when did time pass so fast 🙏🏻
I'm 81 and I don't know where time has gone. My oldest is 59. Enjoy life while you can. Life is very short. I thank God for all the extra years.
No one is OLD. That's the system that wants us old and treats us old so they can remove us out of the system. Disconnect from everything and just live your life as you please and guess what? You'll live forever and be healthy.
Yes 💯.
Godamned system ain’t human. Thanks for your very relevant post.
May the wind always be at your back. ✌️
Kinda
Dang right it ain't, and that's why we shouldn't give it the time of day. I've connected though, with the good stuff, and still working disconnecting with "what were 'supposed' to do"@@MikeSpider-e6o
No money though, now at there mercy
I just turned 64,diagnosed with lung cancer, but, I feel like I'm 16....🤘🤘🤘🤘
Fight like hell
Good Luck, Im 71 and just had part of my colon removed..... & the Chemo is no fun...
Keep up that positive attitude! May God bless and heal you!🙏
🙏🙏
Keep fighting dude! I had my first of three cancers ( prostate) in 200O followed with testicular, then in 2018 throat cancer. I am five years out doing great. Age 74, hoping and expecting a bit more. Keep on Keeping on. Best wishes.
Soon turning 73. On a multiday motorcycle trip with my 19 year old son. Thank god I can still crank a crotch rocket with a teenager. Nothin to lose or gain. No one to impress or disappoint. Most of my riding buddies have passed on. Miss them all. I've had a wonderful life. Hope for a few more long rides.
I am 77 just bought a 28 ft boat wife was mad I said lucky enough to healthy today no promises about tomorrow had all summer so blessed bring on 78
Bless you sail my friend ❤
I'm going to be 63 in July. All my elders from WW2, the Korean war vets have passed. Several Vietnam vets too. Really good men. I miss them. Wish I could get them together for one more time. I appreciate this song. But it had me welling up in my eyes. Struck a chord for sure. Thanks for it 👍
83 Ye ARs 0LD and my favorite Dog Jesse is here now so well merrier playing around with me Jackie
@@jackiemcadams6727
😂 Ye Ars old. That's a good one !!!
I'm glad you have some happiness there. I have a big orange cat myself. Remember Morris the cat from the 70's cat food commercials! Or how about "Harry and Tonto" 1974... with Art Carnie (from The Honeymooners) UA-cam has a trailer of that one. This UA-cam is a wonderful. Have a nice day Ma'am 🌞
I'm 65 and I want to pegg out before I get to 70 ...I'm done worn out from bad marriages and years of abuse from construction work ..peace out✌️✌️
Stick around a bit longer if you can, it’ll be nice to have someone with your experiences to guide us
I’m 73 can see the old man coming in appreciate what I had glad to go be with my hero’s
I hear you buddy
I'll be 72 in July. When I was younger I had it all. Nice house,truck, money,friends now I have none of the above. I'm just waiting..
All that really matters is to be ready to meet Jesus when your number is called. ❤
Welchen Jesus 🤷♀️
There's a new life in eternity for those of us who know JESUS. We'll get a new body. And be young again. The whole purpose of being on this Earth Is to serve & and know CHRIST. HE will make all things new and I love HIM ❤
Jesus is the King of Glory!
What a beautiful God!
Me also, I'm ready anytime, especially the way the world is today ❤
It’s great to have a friend in Jesus he gives me the strength to make this work for we have an eternity together ahead
🙏

Prayers for comfort for you dear Mary🙏
I am sorry. I just lost my husband of 48 years - I know how you feel. He was the love of my life. - now life is just ....
Mary, sorry sweet lady. We too lost our youngest child. Time really does help.
Prayers for you
Tom
Hard to stand strong but you gotta do it for yourself Mary. Trust in the Lord.
Ain't no consolation for getting old. It hurts.
True song ❤ but it's the part of life no one can hold. Just thank the Lord for other day every day.
i'm 73 yr. old have had a major stroke DR.sad i should've died paralied my left side took my voice my wife had to teach me how to talk walk. can't play my guitar,any more but i can sing and praise my lord GLORY GLORY HE TOUCHED ME AMEN
I'm 59 and working 2 jobs. Proud mom of a daughter and son and Nana (1 granddaughter). My mom is alive ( 3 times cancer survior) Daddy passed of Parkinson disease, diabetes and heart disease. I'm the middle sister of 5. 3 girls 2 boys. We lost our brother at age 65 in February and my heart is broken 💔 yes, we all have drank, smoked dope and more. I'm now a Christian and sing in church. Praise God and thank him everyday for his mercy and grace. Open your eyes before its too late. Love this song.
Amen 💯 🙏
I was just thinking about this very thing yesterday, what the happened to the time! We're did it all go. How In the hell did I get to be this old. And what has happened to our country and the way it used to be! There's a new pandemic in America, mental disease!
My beautiful Mom,God bless her soul used to say to me:Don’t never get old. Now I remember my mom and father bond I cry😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢😢
To many sour comments. Former suit and tie executive. Got my 1st tattoo and motorcycle at 69. Now 70, I'm running a 10 k this Saturday. Today I was privileged to take my 18 month old grandson to his physical therapy with hugs, tears and few laughs. I'm on my patio watching a sunset. Love each minute. I will not be found in my last day in a cloud of Cheeto dust on a recliner! Passing is inevitable. Regret is not. If you can't run, walk, if you can't walk crawl, if you can't crawl, do wheelchair wheelies. Bless all and go out with a bang, not a whimper.Peace out.
I feel this way and I'm 38. I was raised on the old ways. Much respect to you old guys. Wish I was there.
I would give anything to have my life back at 35
Don’t ever wish you were here. Live life. Live your dreams because all of as sudden you’re too old and you missed your chance.
I once was loved by my clients, now no one living knows who I was.
49 and rite beside you
I just turned 38 and was raised the same. I cringe when I see the direction the world is going.
I am only 63 now, but everytime I hear this song I am humbled.......
I am an old Viet Nam vet age 71.Beautiful song
Clint Eastwood, don’t let the Old Man in!!!
I just turned 40 this past September, and I feel middle aged due to today's circumstances all around. I manage plenty, and yet I feel like there's not enough time to dedicate to my daughters of 7 and 10 years of age. Where does time go. Me carrying my babies feels like just yesterday. We're here for a short stint, and good music makes it worth stepping out that door every morning, 7days a week🔊🔊🎶🙏🎶
Thank you Sir very good song thanks for the share and thank you for your service
I just turned 60. I cried. Time goes so fast. Guess I should feel blessed God has given me all those years. I just sit and think about my grandkids and the dumb thought comes thru my head that if I have 15-20 years left that’s not much time.
I love God's grace for all the years 77 and my wife for 58 years and God's grace was with us everyday good and bad in Jesus name amen 🙏 ❤❤❤
I just realized today that God does give us a second chance through our Grandchildren to be not so young and dumb as we were while raising our children.❤
I'm not afraid to die
No it isn't Brother but you gotta take what The Good Lord gives us and live it the best we can and be kind✌️
If you have your health, thank God. Nothing worse than old and sick.
Yes Sir, all most time to go HOME, I think I can hear my name being call. Amen and Amen 🙏
This song really says everything about how I feel
Will be 82 next May! Learning to play Don't Let the Old Man In on my 3 string Cigar Box Guitar and Praying for a few more good years! One day at a time. 😊
I’d like to see a video of you playing the song if you would feel so inclined. Hope you’re still learning everyday!
Getting old, dear god when did this happen. I lost everyone that I had, and loved. But, I guess God gives you gives you as much as he see's You can handle. When will it be my turn, God. I have taken't care of everyone. Or is there more for me to do?
Lost my husband 8 years ago in September then our youngest daughter, age 40 to pancreatic cancer, just about did me in trying to keep them alive
Ain't it the Truth. God Bless Us All
This song is so poignant. My dad is 87 & 3 friends of his just recently passed in 3 weeks. I'll be 63 & I worry all the time about time that it is short & I feel I better try to get everything in before something happens. It's scary. This guy is amazing, talented & the song is beautiful & hits hard. Tell everyone you love how you feel you never know when tomorrow might not come.
Beautiful 💯 I love it ❤️😇
Yeah I can relate to this song. On the back of the door in my attic I began to write on the back of the door at 15 things about my life and what's goin on. Every few years I'd write something. I'm 67 and still writing. I stood there and read the whole thing I thought to myself where did the time go.
Nothing wrong with getting old. Everything wrong with giving up.
That says it all, Buddy.
Wake up, father's look at our children. We can't get old. There's still a ones to watch
Beautiful song! I'm 70, very grateful im still here..Long live the 1960s!!
Man has to win every battle with the grim reaper. He needs to only win once. Live every day to the fullest because one day he will win. A beautifully written song. Thanks
This has been my wife’s and my song for 20+ years. Love this song and love the movie. 🤘
Peace be with you!
Jesus is the King of Glory!
Our Living hope!
This world is not our home. We are going home soon.
Oh what a song explains so much in a few simple words❤ amen❤
WOW what a song...I ask myself this often, I'm 81, have always been a country fan..awesome vocals, love the song.
My feelings about this song are our generation worked so hard and like me worked full-time plus a part time weekend job all my life just so my kids and wife could live a happy fruitful life!! Not ONE regret so kids are grown and successful I'm very proud of them. Turning 58 in two days and I'm the gimpy one now 😂😂 but I still get up at 3AM and go to work and its not a desk job..🎉
I'm seventy and she's been a hell of a ride. Grew up on a farm in Saskatchewan. Tremendous upbringing. Great wild west folks. Worked the rigs in Albert's and bc. Hunted the mountains of alberta on horseback and met and partied with some awesome cowboys. Owned and drove hard my 69 charger n 71 super bee. It's been a hell of a great life. We had great hair, great cars and great music. Still enjoying some of it yet and hope God willing to do it for a few years yet
Imhandbrake. 77 yrs old,Getting old only gives us the peace that we won't have to be here when this world ends up in the handbasket.
Beautifully said!
Amen Mark,i have three grandsons kicked addition n alcohol in the backside yrs Sober,keep on Living Life,remember quality!!! Bless you n yours🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🫠👍💕🎉❤️
I HAVE HEARD OF THE GOLDEN YEARS ALL MY LIFE BUT WHAT ARE THEY? I'M 77 YEARS OLD NOW AND HAVEN'T SEEN THEM YET! THE GOLDEN YEARS ARE IN HEAVEN!
Never felt old until Covid in ‘21. Haven’t been the same since. Seeing those I love die, my own health disintegrating sure makes me wonder where all the time went. I use to wonder what old people think about & now I know!
I too, came down with COVID , last week. Hit me hard . I have side effects . I’m 82. I’ll pray for you if, you’ll pray for me ♥️
About 30 years ago, I was fishing with Dad at Williams Dam in Indiana. We were talking to a senior gentleman at the Williams Bait Ship. He looked at me and said to me. "You'll get old like me someday" I smiled and shook his hand. Then returned to the truck and left him and Dad talking. Playing this song brings back that memory.
Sure am feelin it. at 70 in the spring. But I haven't slowed yet. At least at most things. never give up. Stand tall stay motivated. Age means ya have a lot to offer the world , Stay encouraged with every breath. and be thankful your still breathing.
That's something I needed to hear thank you
You are very welcome ! @@levernlewis8989
Thank you!😎❤
Thank you!😎❤
I am only 63 my osteoarthritis pain makes my eyes weep just trying to endure.
Now I know what older people back in my 30's were talking about getting aches and pains in their 60's!😊
Age is just a number. Birthday's are nothing but a library to the past. Every day above ground is a good day. Enjoy them, one day at a time.
My dad Charles Yates best crop duster you would ever know in one of the best gospel singers you ever know he's incredible is 86 years old and can't fly anymore he knows everything about an airplane is a genius I love him with all my heart thank you for the song
May the creator watch over all of you. This life is just part of the Journey we take. Thank you for raising families, working and contributing to this life. When the end comes go home like a Warrior.
WOW..... I never heard that before. ✊️
I know the pain in life, I keep believing some how I keep going doing the things our good Lord lets me do in this life. I keep my foot on the petal of life! I am 65 I still do the dangerous things in life I know one day it just might take me home.
I'm 62 going through a real hard time don't know if I'm going make through wife don't seem to care about about being with me or what I think but I know but with God's grace grace there is a chance
"Did time speed up - or did I slow down " no shi# . Find myself ask'n this question more and more....
My father my daddy they call him Chaz . The best crop duster that ever lived. He is 86 years old . He's one of the best men I've ever known has a wonderful Voice singing gospel music same with the best he just gotten out of the hospital with double pneumonia and he's back home now he's an amazing man and I love him with all my heart so the rest of his sons thanks for the music beautiful.
As a 79 yr old Vietnam Vet, it seems too me it was a flip of the switch! I'm certain it was a process - but one day I wasn't then the next - I was OLD, which I accept. Good song,
I'm already 71 and I'm going down hill but I'm fighting hard to get better cause i have grt gr children that I haven't seen and two more that hasn't gave me any so I'm praying hard for God to give me few more years amen
