I’ve Aged Twenty Years in Five Lyrics by George Jones

I Am What I Am (2000)

1980

[Verse 1]
As I look in the mirror this morning
On some dirty old restroom wall
It took a while to realize it's really me there inside
'Cause I've aged twenty years in five

[Verse 2]
I recall when I looked much younger
And it wasn't so long ago
But one night of sleeping to four nights of wine
And you'll age twenty years in five

[Bridge]
I've aged twenty years in five
I've seen the dark side of life
From a mansion on a hill
To straight whiskey from a still
And you'll age twenty years in five

[Verse 3]
Before the bottle, I played my music
On the road with a five piece band
And with the pressures of the game, I drank up fortune and fame
And I aged twenty years in five

[Verse 4]
Oh, but I'll change this way I've been living
Or I'll be gone before my time
I'll climb back to the top, and with my friends I won't stop
'Til I erase twenty years in five

[Refrain]
Yes, I'll erase twenty years in five
