Wrinkles

Getting out of the tub all drawn up like a raisin
Showed my fingers to my daddy while he was shaving
Said, "Look at my toes Dad, what's wrong with my skin?
Will this go away? Will I be normal again?"

Well, he picked me up, set me down on the hamper
Wiped off his face while he gave me the answer
It was the first time I noticed the lines in his grin
As he dabbed a little foam on the end of my chin
And he said

"Those wrinkles ain't nothing to be scared of
They're just a product of time and true love
Some are gonna come and go
Some are gonna come and stay
Son, you're still young
You're gonna be okay"

Well, I walked down the hall, saw my mama getting ready
For a long overdue date, dinner with Daddy
She was cussing those crow's feet, didn't know I was listening
Started talking about her younger years and how much she missed them
And I said

"Those wrinkles ain't nothing to be scared of
They're just a product of time and true love
Some are gonna come and go
Some are gonna come and stay
Mom, you still look young
You're gonna be okay"

As I get a little older, I'm starting to get a few
And I'm sure I gave Mom and Dad at least one or two
We're all gonna have 'em, there ain't no doubt
But those wrinkles in life ain't nothing you can't iron out

Those wrinkles ain't nothing to be scared of
Some are gonna come and go
Some are gonna come and stay
I still feel young
I'm gonna be okay
Those wrinkles ain't nothing to be scared of
