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!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
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!!!
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
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 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!
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.
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 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 …..
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.
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.❤
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 ❤
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!
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.
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 ◇◇◇◇ *** ...
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..
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 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.
With jesus we never die alone I've dealt with schizophrenia for half my life and in and out of mental hospitals my whole life I do know what it's like to be alone
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
Lost my husband the day after Christmas. He would have said the exact same words. I heard some of them come directly out of his mouth. I hear young people talk about us being dinosaurs or the old days. I wish we were still in the old days when there wasn't so much crap. I'll be 63 my birthday in July and l sure do miss him. He was a good man.
@@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.
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 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) RUclips has a trailer of that one. This RUclips is a wonderful. Have a nice day Ma'am 🌞
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"@@user-sp2nc8rc5k
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.
Turning 71 in 2 weeks. Finally hit me last year. Heard it from "Old friends since I was 30. But you can't understand old, unless you're "Old".50 didn't get it, or 60.I do now 😊
I am "only" 59 years old, BUT, the miles on me far exceed 59 years old. It's not the age, but the miles you travel in life. Abuse as a child, 3 marriages, 3 divorces, 2 bankruptcy, 2 child custody battles (I won custody both times), spent $100k on lawyers, severe life long migraines and GERD, on disability due to mental health issues, pushing and shoving to provide for the family by working 3 jobs, etc. I'd guess I have about 14million miles on me. When did I get old? By the time I was 20 years old, I was an "Old Man".
Peace be with you! This world is not our home. We are going home soon. Jesus Christ is the King of Glory! Our Living hope! Nothing but the blood of Jesus can wash away our sins. No religion needed. Just faith, faith plus nothing.
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 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🔊🔊🎶🙏🎶
This makes me cry makes me think about my family that I don't have in my life any more makes me think about my mom dad and granny 😢rest of the love ones god bless everyone who lost them god be with each of us and godbless him for singing it it is beutiful Doug Loretta
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.
If getting old was easy then no one be trying to get. I am 76 long over my 10 foot tall and bullet proof 37 years as a state trooper I earned all my scars and just waiting for the call to my new home Looking forward to it but no hurry i enjoy the kids and grand kids to much to hurry so put the pain on the shelf and enjoy
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
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!
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!
Guess I'm still a pup compared to some (56), but it's been a hard, bumpy, road. Most of it I've traveled alone. Married, widowed, divorced. Ain't afraid of dying, just dying alone. Too many health concerns now, but got good stories, good kids, and a couple awesome grand kids.
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 69 have diabetes , quadruple bypass, copd, stage 4 aggressive prostate cancer that went to the bones and now it's in the liver and the lining that holds up your insides fun time's really enjoy this song
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
I'm 73 soon 74 God has been so good to me! Had a wonderful family great Mom and Dad brothers and sisters. I'm just sorry that there is not much time left with my Darling GO and my sons and Grandkids. When did I get old?
On the 18th of January, I turned 60. This time last year I could run, walk, I was fit and still about 8 and a half feet tall and bullet proof. Man, what can change in just one year when this number falls upon your soul. My hips are gone, I can't walk across the street, and somewhere along the line, someone let the old man in. I know I'm not alone but alone I will eventually be. To all those guys that have that old man at your door... don't open the door but understand this, he will eventually come in. We were great weren't we.
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.
70yo and this song nails it how. One night you go to bed and in the morning your old. Got prostate cancer now but this old man is going to fight it makes it rough. But I had a good life and a good time pretty much done what I wanted and Hopefully I had God on my side so I don't worry about little things, even thinking about another Harley and still hoping God's still there like He was the first time. Peace my Friends Keep on Keeping On.✌️
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'm on the back side of 44 (still considered a young man by today's standards-I guess). For some reason even before my teenage years I was always very aware of how short life was-how precious our time is. That being said, I haven't been very good at living in the moment or appreciating experiences while in them. My son just turned 18 and in ways I've tried to express how fleeting his young man years are. I don't think he gets it... I wouldn't have either had someone tried to tell me when I was his age. I guess that's a lesson only time can teach a man. Haven't had a song hit me like this since "Like a Rock". This is a damn good tune! Glad it found me....
44? Life changes. Go camping where you can hear the wind pass threw the pines, hear a creek pass by. Smell the pine wood bury in the fire, hear the sap explosion, and smile at the memories of friends from grade w goil you have forgotten. Learn to shoot better, learn to reload. Drink a bit less, try rolling your own tobacco occasionally if you smoke. Collect old pictures of family, especially those you don't know, and remember you have one hell of a story. Everyone who has lived to 44 knows a lot more than when they were 8. Iam 73
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.
I'm pushing 80...... and the first time I heard this song I cried . I've since listened to it at least 20 times ..I have learned the deep truth ... I'm just a man that's going to die way before he thought he was gong to
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.
My father used to say to us ,when we were teens. When we think ,we have all the time in the world “to live,we forgot to indulge in the “experiences of living.When that choice is yanked away from us,That’s when we scramble to feel.😞😠😠😩😩
It is a privilege to grow old. Sin has made it really difficult especially growing old and have no one. Eat well,exercise young,live for God and try and enjoy what this life has to offer.
I first found this song, after having a steoke in December. The song really resonated with me. I bagan to sing it and thank God I m all better now. I just sang this at a karaoke night, this past Sunday. I had a blast!👍🙏😊🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
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?

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 in the same boat life's hard. Live life to the fullest you only get one
🫂
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.. 😢
I feel your pain baby. I'm 57 and all of my grandparents,
and both parents have passed on. And I'm currently living in a nursing home.
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.
Like a thief in the night
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.
I like thjs tk
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✌️
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.
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
🙏
@@carlnewton2246do you actually speak and have a conversation with him

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.
Life is like a roll of toilet paper . The closer you get to the end …the faster it goes 😢
Haha!🥳
😂
So true
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
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.
The greatest song I have ever heard at 78 years old ! This song says it All for the Boomers who are left to face this World at War!!!🇨🇦😰
I agree great song, same age, I thought time slowed down as you got older, not so.
@@Ronick-Q-46 exactly......must live your life, this one life, when your'e 30 and 40 or else you won't have the energy. Live your life NOW.
Amen, brother @67, looking back and seeing most of my brothers die. War was tough on my family, but I'll keep them in my heart forever
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
I turned 65 January 1st. This is when I knew I got old! I pray for the children behind me now!
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!!
Nothing wrong with getting old. Everything wrong with giving up.
That says it all, Buddy.
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
Peace be with you!
Jesus is the King of Glory!
Our Living hope!
This world is not our home. We are going home soon.
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.
Be 80 in January, am blessed to be here , give the Lord all the credit! Either get old our die young🥴
With jesus we never die alone I've dealt with schizophrenia for half my life and in and out of mental hospitals my whole life I do know what it's like to be alone
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

True American spirit !
Lost my husband the day after Christmas. He would have said the exact same words. I heard some of them come directly out of his mouth. I hear young people talk about us being dinosaurs or the old days. I wish we were still in the old days when there wasn't so much crap. I'll be 63 my birthday in July and l sure do miss him. He was a good man.
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.
PROUD TO BE 74. MOST OF MY FRIENDS NEVER MADE TO OLD . IT'S WHAT YOU LET YOUR BRAIN THINK AND HEAR AS TO HOW YOU AGE
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 😢
God Bless you Mary
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.
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!
I’m 73 can see the old man coming in appreciate what I had glad to go be with my hero’s
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) RUclips has a trailer of that one. This RUclips is a wonderful. Have a nice day Ma'am 🌞
Yes Sir, all most time to go HOME, I think I can hear my name being call. Amen and Amen 🙏
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
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"@@user-sp2nc8rc5k
No money though, now at there mercy
Old aint no joke.
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..
Getting old is an honor that so many will never know. Great song.
This song really says everything about how I feel
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.
This song is so true I'm turning 77years old., where and when did time pass so fast 🙏🏻
Turning 71 in 2 weeks. Finally hit me last year. Heard it from "Old friends since I was 30. But you can't understand old, unless you're "Old".50 didn't get it, or 60.I do now 😊
I am "only" 59 years old, BUT, the miles on me far exceed 59 years old. It's not the age, but the miles you travel in life. Abuse as a child, 3 marriages, 3 divorces, 2 bankruptcy, 2 child custody battles (I won custody both times), spent $100k on lawyers, severe life long migraines and GERD, on disability due to mental health issues, pushing and shoving to provide for the family by working 3 jobs, etc. I'd guess I have about 14million miles on me.
When did I get old? By the time I was 20 years old, I was an "Old Man".
Peace be with you!
This world is not our home. We are going home soon.
Jesus Christ is the King of Glory!
Our Living hope!
Nothing but the blood of Jesus can wash away our sins.
No religion needed. Just faith, faith plus nothing.
Yes! Peace to You also!
But you made it! Strength is more than we know. We're all in this life together.
God bless You, my Friend@@paulgemme6056
Oh damn, this hits home hard.
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😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢😢
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.
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!
As ole Willie sings, ain't it funny how time slips away.
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🔊🔊🎶🙏🎶
Clint Eastwood, don’t let the Old Man in!!!
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.
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
WOW what a song...I ask myself this often, I'm 81, have always been a country fan..awesome vocals, love the song.
Thank you Sir very good song thanks for the share and thank you for your service
Ain't no consolation for getting old. It hurts.
This makes me cry makes me think about my family that I don't have in my life any more makes me think about my mom dad and granny 😢rest of the love ones god bless everyone who lost them god be with each of us and godbless him for singing it it is beutiful Doug Loretta
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!
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!😎❤
If getting old was easy then no one be trying to get. I am 76 long over my 10 foot tall and bullet proof 37 years as a state trooper I earned all my scars and just waiting for the call to my new home Looking forward to it but no hurry i enjoy the kids and grand kids to much to hurry so put the pain on the shelf and enjoy
I am not old I don't think . I have lung cancer and my wife loves me so much. It's like nothing is diffrernt
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
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 ♥️
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
True song ❤ but it's the part of life no one can hold. Just thank the Lord for other day every day.
"Did time speed up - or did I slow down " no shi# . Find myself ask'n this question more and more....
Guess I'm still a pup compared to some (56), but it's been a hard, bumpy, road. Most of it I've traveled alone. Married, widowed, divorced. Ain't afraid of dying, just dying alone. Too many health concerns now, but got good stories, good kids, and a couple awesome grand kids.
I understand. I am 65 and it seems like I was young one day and the next I was old. Like when did it happen so fast.?
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 69 have diabetes , quadruple bypass, copd, stage 4 aggressive prostate cancer that went to the bones and now it's in the liver and the lining that holds up your insides fun time's really enjoy this song
Wake up, father's look at our children. We can't get old. There's still a ones to watch
Beautiful 💯 I love it ❤️😇
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
I'm 73 soon 74 God has been so good to me! Had a wonderful family great Mom and Dad brothers and sisters.
I'm just sorry that there is not much time left with my Darling GO and my sons and Grandkids.
When did I get old?
On the 18th of January, I turned 60. This time last year I could run, walk, I was fit and still about 8 and a half feet tall and bullet proof. Man, what can change in just one year when this number falls upon your soul. My hips are gone, I can't walk across the street, and somewhere along the line, someone let the old man in. I know I'm not alone but alone I will eventually be. To all those guys that have that old man at your door... don't open the door but understand this, he will eventually come in. We were great weren't we.
I'm 66 years old still driving like a still pipe. Former Marine. Never give up. Til they put 6 foot down.
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.
70yo and this song nails it how. One night you go to bed and in the morning your old. Got prostate cancer now but this old man is going to fight it makes it rough. But I had a good life and a good time pretty much done what I wanted and Hopefully I had God on my side so I don't worry about little things, even thinking about another Harley and still hoping God's still there like He was the first time. Peace my Friends Keep on Keeping On.✌️
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 turn 60 this year and am feeling this at my core. 🎼🎵
I'm on the back side of 44 (still considered a young man by today's standards-I guess). For some reason even before my teenage years I was always very aware of how short life was-how precious our time is. That being said, I haven't been very good at living in the moment or appreciating experiences while in them. My son just turned 18 and in ways I've tried to express how fleeting his young man years are. I don't think he gets it... I wouldn't have either had someone tried to tell me when I was his age. I guess that's a lesson only time can teach a man. Haven't had a song hit me like this since "Like a Rock". This is a damn good tune! Glad it found me....
Ditto, Like A Rock.
44? Life changes. Go camping where you can hear the wind pass threw the pines, hear a creek pass by. Smell the pine wood bury in the fire, hear the sap explosion, and smile at the memories of friends from grade w goil you have forgotten. Learn to shoot better, learn to reload. Drink a bit less, try rolling your own tobacco occasionally if you smoke. Collect old pictures of family, especially those you don't know, and remember you have one hell of a story. Everyone who has lived to 44 knows a lot more than when they were 8. Iam 73
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.
I'm pushing 80...... and the first time I heard this song I cried . I've since listened to it at least 20 times ..I have learned the deep truth ... I'm just a man that's going to die way before he thought he was gong to
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.
I’m 105 and am lucky to be here. Don’t know how much longer though. Could be any day now.
A HUNDRED AND EIGHT WOULD BE NICE
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 said, " their ain't no future in getting old" ! Man, was that the understatement of the year !
I’m 87 years old this song hits to the heart and reminds me of the life I’ve lived
My father used to say to us ,when we were teens.
When we think ,we have all the time in the world “to live,we forgot to indulge in the “experiences of living.When that choice is yanked away from us,That’s when we scramble to feel.😞😠😠😩😩
Getting old is a blessing, embrace it and live until you die.
Many never see old age.
It is a privilege to grow old. Sin has made it really difficult especially growing old and have no one. Eat well,exercise young,live for God and try and enjoy what this life has to offer.
I first found this song, after having a steoke in December. The song really resonated with me. I bagan to sing it and thank God I m all better now. I just sang this at a karaoke night, this past Sunday. I had a blast!👍🙏😊🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
