Take It From An Old Man Lyrics by Dakin Matthews

Waitress (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2016

[JOE]
Take it from an old man
Time's just sand slippin' past
We wanna hold it in our hands
But no one ever sees what falls through the cracks
Take it from an old man
My mistakes have made me
And I am what I am
And though I don't believe in silver linings
[ALL]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
[JOE]
I believe that there's something in you
[ALL]
I believe in you
[JOE]
Something good is tryin' to break through
[ALL]
Through
[JOE]
You might have to fight the good fight
And when you think you can't
[JOE & ALL]
You can
[JOE]
Take it from an old man
Take it from an old man
The days don't stretch any longer
[JOE & ALL]
They've left tracks upon my skin
[JOE]
But I reckon made me stronger
[JOE & ALL]
But I believe there's something in you
Something you should be seeing too
Bet it all on yourself at least one time
[JOE]
'Cause honey, win or lose
[ALL]
Win or lose
[JOE & ALL]
It's one hell of a ride
[JENNA]
It's one hell of a ride
[JOE]
And if you lack the strength of your own
Honey, hold out your hands and take it from an old man
