I lost my wife , 66 years old last week. We have been married since 1989. I sat in the hospital with her 12 hours a day for almost two weeks. Toward the end she started hallucinating, contracted a condition DIC where the body clots and bleeds, watched her body core temp drop to hypothermia , I looked at my daughter as she wept and told her, I'm sorry it's time honey, turned to the Doctor with a nod, he replied you are so right Sir we are doing her more harm than good. So proud of my daughter as I told her this is the hardest thing in her life she will have to endure, all else will be fine. We have yet to find out what caused her illness as she was fine prior to all of this. While taking care of matters this week I was reminded how all of our gained material wealth that we work so hard for has no value what so ever, only the time you spend with loved one's is the upmost importance as one day we all will take our turn for that "cycle of life." Her date of birth December 25, 1956 ❤️ 😥
@@Metamorphica2 I cannot recall how many times that question was asked of me, yes she had all the covid vaccinations, Transported to the number one hospital in California, top rated ICU in the Nation, Cedars and as a teaching hospital seen by over 50 physicians. A professor even asked permission to write full literature on her case for his lectures. Something was breaking down her muscle tissue which is very toxic to the liver and kidneys. All I could do was hold her hand and let her know how much she was loved and so sorry. Hoping her autopsy will reveal the cause. When did we get old?
I just turned 78 last April. I thought I was "Forever Young". Worked out at the gym. Did weight training. Ate healthy, took my vitamins. No liquor, no drugs. Lived a pretty clean life. Loved the same person for 40 years until they passed away in 2017. How did I get to where I am ? The one thing that has made me old is being alone. Society is pretty sickening right now. All the things I fought for my whole life seems to be slowly taken away. It's almost all behind me now and in a way, I'm glad. One day soon, I'll be free........
Thank you for sharing. Please read the gospel of John and Romans and ask the Lord to reveal Himself to you. Eternity is certain. For proof google the latest evidence on the Shroud of Turin and the chariot wheels filmed in the Red Sea. Signs and wonders that were promised by God to the end times generation . In regards to society read 2nd Timothy 3: 1-4 or just google it if you don't have a Bible. God bless and keep you.
Sounds like you’ve made a good fist of growing old if you ask me and younger people (60,s) can learn from someone like you so share your knowledge - I’m sure there’s more life in that old dog yet - take care my friend and stay safe !
Cry out to the Savior cause you’re close to the point of no return. Jesus is real and His word tells us what we need to do before we take our last breath. Jesus has changed me inside and out so I know He is real and alive in 2023.
Yes one day we all will but you could feel real proud of how much you have accomplished and made a difference in this world you are a very unique human being no one else can take that from you bless you!! Just so,you know l believe that all,of us in the 70+ group tend to,feel hurt and forgotten and yes we have been in many different ways but hell am going out by having the time of my life and I don’t give a stuff about this age anymore but until l found this wonderful site l smiled and thought I DONT FEEL ALONE ANYMORE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Someone said, "We blinked and we are here. We are old. It goes that fast." For all of you young folks out there, if the good Lord lets you live to an "old" age, take note. Life goes by very fast. You probably don't give it even a second's worth of thought as you go about your busy days, but you will be here before you know it. Slow down, cherish every breath you have been given, get off of your phone for a few minutes, and just enjoy being alive. And even more important, get to know Jesus as your personal Lord and savior. Without Him, all else is worthless.
i knew at 15 there wasn't enough time and raced thru time, crammed more than most into its preciousness and now i'm 80, grateful yet hungry, just so much to this life worth the adventure. even going for it isn't enough. defeat and victory grow the same. its in the doing that matters, bumps wake up calls to a calling . . . there's more.
I’m a 74 year old lady and I get irritated when someone reminds me that I’m old. I feel 40. My body sometimes reminds me I’m not. I’ll live to 100. I’ve always felt that way. I’m super active, still lifting 50# bags of horse feed with a bad back. I’m building and filling garden beds, and about to build a house, my 3rd. I think that staying off the couch, staying active, and eating properly keeps me young, and NEVER letting someone else tell me what I can’t do.
I guess I remember more than most I remember Vietnam. Nixon, Reagan. Bush and 911. Anthrax in the mail. And now Trump and his attack on our capital and constitution, we have lived thur some bull shitt. I'm mid 60s and I never expected a past president to say he wants to be a dictator and remove our constitution, Trump has set a new low and the Republicans think that's a good deal , just remember that the 14th amendment section three disqualifies Trump and Republicans involved in the insurrection from holding office.
I'm 45 yrs old, I sit here listening to this and reading all of my elders posts. I respect the hell out of all of you! The hardest workers, most responsible and dedicated humans that exist. I'm younger but I have an old soul. My heart goes out to you all.
I’m 74, my husband 76. We started “going steady” at 15 & 17. Just recently we realized we are at the end. It’s a very sobering thought. Sooner or later, every human being will have this realization. Memories are made when you aren’t even aware. Enjoy life, and as they say… don’t sweat the small stuff!
I hear that, cindy. I keep planning for next year, and assume there will be more of them. I try to picture my life alone here, and it's a bit daunting, then I try to picture HIS life alone here, and that's equally daunting. I'd much rather be the last one standing, for whatever it's worth. Not that we have much say in the matter =)
We are almost the same my wife is 75 I am 76 Married December 21st 1966, My wife was still in high school I was on 2 wk leave after basic had to go back Jan 1st . Christmas is still a big happy time for us. We did not have a wedding just our friends and immediate family being our friends and family the feelings we had at that time get repeated every Christmas season, my wife would not have it any other way. Everyone thought we made a mistake , glad they were wrong. We are at the end too but death won't happen in our lifetime so why worry.
So sad about you losing your longtime friend and husband. I married my high school sweetheart. We eloped and married at age 19 and 17 in 1975. Still together and had 3 children and 6 grandchildren. We can’t take anything for granted as we never know when the Lord will take us home . God bless you Cindy ❤
At 73 years old, I am one year into a two-year cancer treatment plan, just had my fourth mini stroke in the past twenty years and was just diagnosed with an aneurysm. Having already lived longer than I thought I would, THIS SONG WILL KEEP ME GOING! Thank You!
please keep going ,my dad had an aneurysm,cancer ,bypasses,bleeding in the kidneys.He was in hospital for over three months this year they called code blue on him over three times and he is still here. Never give up. thinking of you and wishing you all the best.
@@JohnTimothy-m8x You will know that you are old when your friends start dying all around you. I know this to be true as I have lost 6 very close friends in the last3 years. Voids in your life that cant be filled.
Dam straight you young men and women before you know it your gonna blink and this song will hit you like a sledgehammer! Thanks for the great song boys you helped me go back in time and back again. I’m 61 and can’t believe it …. Time caught me but this song says it all thank you!
I'm a girl that just celebrated my 77 birthday. The exterior may show some wear and tear the chassis is a bit run down, but the engine is still running and humming right along and for that, I am more than grateful. Kindness, the best medicine.💞💞💞
I'm 70 years old and my grandparents pretty much raised me. This life ain't easy you've got to come out fight'n and go out fight'n. The Lord never promised us a rose garden down here but He did promise we could be with Him up there. Just make sure when your time comes you accepted Jesus and been born again.
Growing old is not for amateurs. Never ever regret getting old because it is a privilege that has been denied to many. Any morning you wake up, it is a pretty good start.
My granny always said "It's a good day when you wake up." I am almost 62 and I think of her saying that in my mind every day ~~ and I laugh! O my, it feels so good to laugh. Even on the worst of days, try to belt one out. If you have to .."fake it til you make it" ! Ah! Another quote, with another story ~ for another day
I used to take my elderly mom to her doctor appointments. At one appointment- she jumped up onto the examination table she told the nurse "you know I never felt old until I turned 91" 🤯❤️ Bless her heart-she MEANT IT!! I'm turning 72 this month and I have wondered these same thoughts in this song, as my health declined. I keep her words in my heart and try to stay positive, but this song speaks to me and ABOUT ME. Thanks for a song many of us can relate to!! 👍🏼
At 74, my health started to be an issue. Breast cancer, Covid, Trimalleolar Ankle Fracture needing two surgeries, C Dif, and now a hand problem that has extended to my shoulder, yet to be diagnosed correctly at 78. Depression and anxiety over a moving added to the mix. Life is no longer fun or satisfying with my 59 year marriage.
I can relate to this great song at 75 … with Fibromyalgia and other issues I’m doing my best at self care … while thinking of the days of youth gone by … hoping my son will always enjoy his life. ❤🙏🕊🌎✨
I'm 76. My husband died last July. I've decided no more grieving. I don't want to live in the past. I don't know what my destination is, but the journey is always exciting! Just being alive is exciting!!❤😊
I'm 82 and still looking forward to each day until there is not another. I've had a very happy life and thankful. Looking forward to next day as the page turns.
I am very sorry to read you lost someone so dear to you. It may sound trite since it's said so often by people that don't know either of you but "he would have wanted you to move on and be happy." My father often said two things about this phase of life. He spoke Greek so the rough translation into English of the first is "give flowers to the living, the dead don't need them." His meaning was don't wait until someone dies to heap flowers on their grave showing how much you loved them. Once they are gone, they are gone. Show them that you love them while they are alive since they won't see or smell those ephemeral flowers on their grave. The other thing he very often said was "life is for the living." It has two meanings, really, but it boils down to "while you are alive, you should live!" Don't sit around waiting to die or wallowing around in grief or self pity. Live! Life is a precious gift, use it!
I turn 60 next year and feel this song to the bones. I’m wondering after all these years about when exactly did I get old. It’s surreal. This is a fantastic song and lyrics. Good work, Derrick Dove and the Peacekeepers!
I wouldn’t give up getting old for anything. Youth was very very hard for me, but now I know and follow Jesus! It’s the best life , going through pain or not, knowing Jesus is highly recommended!
AMEN!!! I just met Jesus 6 years ago at the age of 61 and I feel like I just started living every since!!! He has literally made me a new creation and I will live every last day I have thanking Him and praising Him in anticipation of meeting Him face-to-face one day! I pray for anyone that doesn’t know Him that they will get to know Him & rock their world! In Jesus name I pray. Amen. 💜🙏🏻✝️
I was born in 1962 and turned 62 July 2024.ear buds in blasting that music and locked the world outside. The late 70s 80'S 90's were the best many great memories. Back when things made sense. Great tunes. Still here September 2024!!!!
I recently almost lost my husband. Married 36 years. Together 39. As I was following the paramedics to the hospital I thought, this is how it happens. This is when I become a widow. In the ER watching the staff cut his clothes off and trying to save his life was a surreal experience. The physician said he had a few hours left at the time I called 911. His illness came on quickly and was out of the blue. He survived. I am grateful of course. But it was a wake up call. That we are at the end of life and need to prepare. We’ve started getting rid of the belongings we’ve lovingly collected. Things that hold memories. But it must be done as we have no children and I don’t want strangers sorting through our things. The end of life is strange. Very strange. Be grateful folks, for every minute. Make as many beautiful memories as you can. Have fun. Get outside and breath the air. Take in nature. Move about while your body lets you. Because it was yesterday it seemed that I was a young girl who met a young man. We blinked and we are here. We are old. It goes that fast.
I'm 76 and finally feel old. Even with the aches and pains still happy to see all my 11 great grandkids. It's a good life. Still with my wife of 55 yrs.
Anyone the wrong side of 50 can relate to this song. Growing old is hard to accept but what choice do we have? Be kind to yourself, age gracefully. And maybe, just maybe you can die with some dignity.
'wrong side of 50'? Plenty don't ever get close..tomorrow is not promised. Everyday above ground is a good one. How old would you be if you didn't know the day you were born? 60 hurts more but I am here and I show up everyday! Make it count.
I just heard this for the first time and it really sums up how I've been feeling lately. I'm 62 years old. I know my best years are behind me. Time is more precious than ever.
I'm 62 in 3 weeks, worked hard all my life, she 56 knee replacement then March 2020 got told I've got multiple sclerosis progressive, now totally disabled. This has hit me hard, listening to this song. God bless us all I say. Your 21 then before we know ot God now 62.
Dear Brother, this song hits home for women as well. It is sad how we have grown older in a blink of an eye. I remember my dad telling me (God rest his soul) He said to me “Don’t get old, it’s not worth it” He was most certainly right!!! I stumbled upon your channel and subscribed. I love your music. I thank you ❤
Damn I'm 59 yrs old, I'd don't know where time went. I lost 15 yrs of my life by making stupid decisions in and out of prison 6 in a half the first-time 5 the second time 3 the last, don't have any more in me. I definitely regret it all and what I lost.😢
@@Kevin-qn2zq Move past the 'oops' and find the 'yays'. You exist. You have worth. You are far from done. Here for a reason. I'm 76, still trotting along life's highway. Grins to ya.
@@Kevin-qn2zq😢 I’m so sorry but as well look up ⬆️ you learned from it and now can be new ❤if no prison time you may have never learned and been gone already. Ya got great years ahead beginning now!!!
This is my song... I always come back to it❤🙏im 40 and feel 400...I was ripped up in a motorcycle accident..I worked for years tk be decent and nkt have to go to the hospital..I lost a wife to death gained a good woman...lost my mom and many family ...we used to gBe Sunday dinner with 35 people. Now none...we all have these stories so im not special..but some dnt have these stories or won't cause sadly they never had the family to loose.and those are who pray for.. I ❤ u all 🙏
Great song! I'm sixty-six and my wife is sixty-seven! My wife is currently dying of cancer and my body has also started to wither. In my mind I still feel like I'm eighteen years old, but my body tells me to "Pay attention"! All I know is that everything in life changes. I know that the best thing for all of us is to accept the fact that we are going to get old and then the next generation will take over! I want to stay alive as long as I can for my daughters and my grandchildren! However, no one knows when their last time on earth will be!
Bless you both . Just lost my Dad this year.he was 84 I am 57.Its never easy getting old ,but if you are on the Move every day even just a little it's good .Be at peace everything will work out .God is in control.sending prayers 🙏🙏
Thankful i realized at 63 i can get a new start in life. Watching the Lord turn back the clock to renew my health and restore my youth. God is truly good.
I realized at 58 the office walls were "closing in". I retired (2019) & now spend most of my time alone at my rural family home place (still keeping my apt in the city). I call this change -- my second chance at life. I'm grateful I've had a lot of new experiences. The wonderment & work of country life has kept me physically young & young at heart. But country life is hard. There's no Kroger just around the corner and people are kind but not too welcoming into social circles. I'm leaning towards accepting I'm a converted city girl and am ready to return "home" (city). Simply hate to give up something I started.
I could use that same age, this year has been taking a huge toll on my teeth, my skin, everything. I'm active, I eat, lots of spring water, vitamins?? I think the emotional toll has a physical effect.....
Love this song,I'm an almost 89 yrs old woman,wondering why I'm still here Fair health and of course my family wants me here forever,they say.bless their hearts ❤
My grandmother was 97 when she passed and always asked that question. I told her God wasn't done with her yet. Someone else needed her smile, her hug, a kind word from her, her sound advice, her humor. She was such a sweet lady. So God isn't done with you yet. You have things to offer that others need! ❤
I will turn 71 next month. I just started a sesonal retail job. Being around young people has definitely helped me mentally not feel my age. However, when I get home from work , my legs and back bring me back to reality. This song is great, as is the performance.
Being alone in life , for 12 years, without my husband of 47 years is what has made me feel older!! Without the good Lords provision and protection I would not have been able to keep going!! I am blessed with many happy memories , And with God's blessings I continue on lifes pathway.
Hey Rattler! You ain’t old! You’re just getting warmed up! I’d like to tell you how much I appreciate you and our other fellow patriots for your special military service. Men in my family were Army, Navy and Air Force and I understand (somewhat) separation from your family and friends. I hope life always treats you kindly! Thank you for keeping them folks in Nam busy! e.conboy
I have been a saved born again Christian for 49 years and am 68 years old. I've had my share of ups and downs...but for the grace of God and Him getting me through hard times I would have fallen into deep despair. And the best is yet to come when I leave this earth and go to my heavenly home...that I know is really what life is all about. 🌹
Born Again since 1976. A long time now. I was a drunk but free from that moment on. Best thing that has ever happened to anyone. Trust Jesus time must be short now.
I’ll be 70 in October! Man, this song hits home. It’s funny how things that bothered me in the past aren’t even in my thoughts anymore. Fuck it, I’m going to live what years I have left doing everything I can to live the rest of my life the way I want! To any youngsters reading this, believe me, life passes by at a high rate of speed! Be kind and enjoy every day you have! 😉🎸
Just found your song and love it. That line about pain, yes I have physical pain. But the worst pain comes when someone (many someone's) are gone and I still remain.
So true, especially when the ones who are gone were gone way too early in their life. I am not the healthiest person, and I wonder how is it that I am still here and my brothers, younger than me are not.
@@lizaC0001 I hear you. 2 of my Sister's passed away and then my hero, my big brother, died almost 2 years ago and the pain is still the same as it was the day's that they passed.
@@debbie4503 Yes Debbie, the pain just stays, and day by day we try to make the best of things. It reminds me of what Caroline Leaf, a neuroscientist said, that we never get over the loss of loved ones, we just get through it. Saturdays are difficult as the radio plays all the eighties music, and my mind is with my brothers. I often cry, it helps to feel better. Best wishes to you, may the pain of heart ease a little.
SO true, I was strong, young full of piss and vinegar, then I awake at 60+. Albeit I found love, God, children, and grandchildren, I have found the key in keeping the demons at bay and there is peace. May you all be blessed.
From 50 on , life speeds up! Know, that, as you bury your parents, that you are the NEXT GENERATION ! While young & healthy live life fully, joyfully & gratefully ! EVERY DAY FROM BIRTH, IS A GIFT! Save tears for children list in childhood, or for parents who don’t get to see their children reach adulthood ! I’m 75, in terrible health, & I wake up thankful every day that I’m still here to watch my grandchildren’s milestones !😊 Hauser, Leonard Cohen, & ballet on TH-cam just round out my beautiful end of life times! ❤️🔥❤️
This song really hits home for me. I am 78 years old, and never considered myself old. But the last year has proved me wrong. My mind is still young, but my body has aged a lot in the last year. "Old age" has a way of sneaking up on you so fast, one day you are in your youth and the next you are OLD. Enjoy your life my friends, it's a short ride to old.
Amen 🙌🏻 🎼 When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there When the roll, is called up yonder When the roll, is called up yonder When the roll, is called up yonder When the roll is called up yonder I'll be there 🎼
Serving my savior Jesus gives this gettin’ old thing purpose here on earth while I look forward to my new body in Heaven!❤ No pain and no sorrow, Amen!
I once had a boss who could have easily retired comfortably, but he still drove 40 miles to work 6 days a week. One day I asked him why he didn't retire, & he said something that's stuck with me to this day. He said John, "you need a reason to get up in the morning". In other words, staying busy doing what you love is the key to a long life. I "retired" from the outdoor power equipment industry at age 62, & started a auto detailing business 15 years ago. I'm 76 now, and still work 6 days a week at my own pace doing what I love. Yeah, I have my share of aches & pains, but I have never been happier. I always say, I'd rather wear out than rust out! I encourage anyone our age who is feeling down on themselves, to do some soul searching, find that thing you love to do, turn off the TV & get the hell off the couch! Find a hobby, volunteer, mentor young people, make things, repair things! That is my prayer for you 🙏
Good advice. Love the phrase, I'd rather wear out than rust out😊. My mother Iived to be 87 and eventually wore herself out, got Alzheimer and dementia, but still remembered me, thank God.
I agree. I was a jogger until this morning, and realized with a tear in my heel, i have to return to fast walking, which I resisted for the last 3 months, The pain levels were too much to bear. I am 66 years young, i always told myself, and the truth is, never stop working. There must be a purpose to wake up every morning, mine was to go for a jog for 10 kilo each morning, it keeps me alive. Keeps the depressing away, because one is not so busy with the mind anymore, that is still dangerous for me. Too much time to think, too much time to feel lonely and too much time to feel the pain of losing so much in my life. So i keep myself busy and healthy by being active as much as possible, There is nothing like nature to draw nearer to the Lord. But if one has the opportunity to continue to work as long as possible, one must grab it and hold on to that, otherwise you grow old much too quickly.
Lordy buds, you sure hit the mark. I'm a widow, my parents are gone, my sister is gone. My friends moved away and for 15 years I left my roots to start a new life. That is until hubby died. I'm 74 and still kicking back on the losses. I have taught myself new skills. But it sure gets lonely. This is a amazing song.
I’m 81. I look in the mirror and wonder how getting old happened so quickly. Then I remember all those my age and younger who are no longer here on earth. Aging is a gift of every day we are given. If we are relatively healthy, it’s another gift. Live, be happy, be as active as you can because we don’t know what tomorrow might bring.
I’m 72 years old so is my wife my wife has Crohn’s disease she’s very sick. We’re here for a minute. And then the next thing you know, we’re on our way out. It’s never easy. Life is short. Make good use of it. Time goes by so fast. I’m not in very good health either. Material things mean nothing at all absolutely nothing. Without your love, life really doesn’t have much left. be kind and be grateful to people be thankful for what you have ❤
So relatable. Our culture glorifies the young and healthy. As we age and our bodies break down, we disappear in our culture. 😢 We're ignored, de-valued and forgotten, mostly covertly. Very unhealthy for a society to thrive. It's a a sad, sad situation. Tx for this song good sir! 🙏🏼 🇺🇸 ♥️
My Daddy ( my hero) was a Vietnam Vet. He was consumed with about 8 different cancers in the last 20 years of his life which was caused by The Agent Orange exposure. He didn't die in the War, but the war still killed him.
I can totally relate. My dad the same. Agent orange. PTSD he's not the same person. He can't live by himself without trying to take his own life because it haunts him so bad. Luckily I still have him for a bit but he tried to hide the huge pollips they found when doing his colonoscopy. He came from the biopsy after I just talked to the doctor who said results will be back in a few weeks and he'll have a follow up. My dad got in the car and I asked how he was feeling and he said oh good they found less than last time only a few small ones and they're all benign. I knew he was lying the doctor just told me 7 very large ones and he wouldn't have his biopsy results right then anyway 🤦♀️ he was a trooper all right. Still waiting for the results and I will get them. But you're 100% correct they may not have died in that war but they paid the ultimate sacrifice. That war was disgusting. My dad was also bipolar 1 before he was drafted so in my opinion someone in that state of mind is a recipe for disaster. The way people treated them when they came home, spitting on them and everything else makes me sick. I hope karma gets every single one of them. Did they think they wanted to go some Still in high school?? I don't know what is wrong with people. And then people don't understand why there are homeless vets? Because they don't have anyone to help them and can't function because they fought for their freedom that's why!! Ugh so frustrating. Bless you and your father. I definitely feel your pain.
@@user-kgroves13hi was young and really didn’t understand why our soldiers were treated so badly. I knew that it was wrong and I appreciated what our military had done for us. I was then and am now ashamed of this country. Ty and God Bless you for sharing your story. May the Lord grant you peace dear one.
Will turn 71 in a few days, I am blessed beyond measure, still working the same job for 27 years. I thank the Lord every day for ever step, breath and the strength he gives me to get through each day. I am the oldest of 6 lost 2 brothers in 2 years always through I should be the first to go but it's all about God's plan. Always think of this verse in the Bible, I will look until the hills from wench cometh my help,my help comes from the Lord,the Maker of heaven and earth.
Have you looked into Stockholm Syndrome? It sounds like an abusive relationship with a manipulative father figure. There is help available to escape the clutches of organised religion misrepresenting fear as love. I hope you find your way out.
I'm 68...4 months into cancer....50 years as a mechanic...no eight hour days...lol...I've worked 2 lifetimes in one...didn't see 68 coming...but grateful, taking it in stride...love your music...❤
Went to bed then got up listening to this song, It don't seem that long between yesterday & today! At 73, my body hears you friend!! Thank you Lord for bringing me this far, when i could have been taken out so many times before!
I'm 65 we're did it all go, I have Jesus ,l have always had Jesus. My brothers and sisters have nothing to do with me , it's ok they don't have Jesus in there life , l forgive l forget . But I'm still there sister. I love this song because they are getting older ,they better forgive and forget .Get Jesus in there life . Help them God before it's to late.
Amen....my husband passed suddenly May 18th,2021 from an aneurysm and our adult children turned their backs on us during Covid because we wouldn't take the vaccines. I have God in my heart and life. I forgive them and I have left it in God's hands now
I've listened to this song tonight over and over, about 4 times. Reading the precious comments that others have shared here, crying my eyes out! Yet I am realizing how important it is to finish this race, even if we're walking or crawling to the finish line. I know Jesus also knows pain and suffering, and I find comfort and peace in reading psalms in the Bible and pray now for each one here who is going through really hard times. ❤️
Just turned eighty, am more thankful now about my life than I have ever been, feel good (almost better than before), I give thanks daily for a good life, amen:)
My dad just sent me this song. I know this is how all you old timers are feeling but age is just a number just keep living your best life with no regrets till the good lord takes you home. Your still young inside I know yall feel it. The younger ones love you and look to you for guidance just remember even if we don't show it we still need you
Im 61 next week....i have NEURO ENDO CRINE Lung cancer.....no cure...however, i know Jesus.....so when it's my time...I WILL RUN To my SAVIOR....straight into HIS ARMS......yes, i get sad..i want to see my grandchildren grow up....but JESUS knows when it's my time...DO YOU KNOW HIM????? Ask HIM into your HEART...
71 years old and survived 2 strokes 2 heart attacks and 2 deaths in my immediate family..my 38 year old daughter and my husband of 46 years within a year of each other. Also had surgery to remove a tumor and my son moved me so I could be closer to him...I guess for my health emergencies. I am alone with my elderly dog now and this song surely says it all for me.
This song resonates with my life. I have been feeling so very old and exhausted at 52. Like another artist sang, I'm too young to feel this damn old. I'm loving this guy and his music is pure country rock. Being a Georgia girl, he is my people.
This life will end for us all one day but there is a better life to come which will never end and is promise by Jesus Christ, “He who believes in me shall have everlasting life..I am the Resurrection.”
Im 69. Veteran. Retired 11 B3V8 USA, USCIS too. I pray we get back on track as America. Been lots of places and done alot too. I still have alot for my Country and some for retirement.
I'm 54 now, I don't Parkinson's, throat Cancer and now lung cancer I don't know where yesterday went and I'm not so sure about tomorrow,, but I'm going to be ok , this life has been amazing, but either way I have my faith my last breath here will be my first in Heaven, Thank You for the memories!
Beautiful lyrics. Really hit me hard. I’m 62 and wonder what happened and what gonna happen. Oh well. Thanks for the song guys. Gonna play it while I sit in the garage and smoke dope today. 😊
Every since I had a heart attack. My life has changed. Been in and out of the hospital. Now I have real bad anxiety and depression. I use play basketball with my kids and lift weights. Now I'm afraid to move. Tying to get over it. It has been so hard. That's when I got old. I know God is with me and he is with you. Don't give up keep going.
This song speaks to my soul. In November 2020 a month I can't remembe because I had covid, yet I'll never forget because covid attacked my heart (I'm in mid stage heart failure with my pacemaker and meds to keep me alive) and my Kidneys (Stage 4A Kidney failure) When did I get old.…. when my life changed forever because of covid. It's not easy being young healthy with my whole life ahead of me and in one month my life has become more of a nightmare than a joy. I wanted to have babies but I won't be here to watch them grow. I'll never be the Grandmother I hoped to be. Hug your loved ones. You never know what might happen the next day, week, month, or year. Thank you for this beautiful song.
I was about to quote this comment from Eastwood! I'm nearly 74 about to have a hip replacement operation once that's done I'm adamant I'm going to be just that woman once again 🤞
This song reminds me so much of my father, He always asked the same question and followed it with saying his mind made contracts thar his body couldn't keep. Now that I am old, I ask the same questions! Because now I know what he was really saying!!!!
76 years old and doing great considering that I went through seven weeks of cancer treatments last fall for cancer of the vocal chords. Radiation Mondays through Fridays and chemo on Mondays, Thankfully they got it and I have been cancer free for a year. Amazing how time flies. I feel very fortunate. I am even able to begin singing again. Happy since they weren't sure I would ever talk again. There was a chance that my voice box would have to be removed if the treatments weren't successful. Love this song!
Beautiful song. I’m sitting here older than dirt. Super woman has plummeted like a rock back to earth. Sure wish someone would have taken care of me like I took care of everyone else. This society turns away from the elderly-kids have no time for their old gray mom. That’s the biggest shocker. Give your life to others but don’t give it all. It will take everything you have and wring you out like a dish rag. Time to face another day in this old body. Sorry, this is the reality for lots of old super women like me. At least I managed to have my poetry and painting all for myself. I’ve actually won ribbons totally untrained. Have something for you. Leave something that shows you’ve been here besides kids or houses or money. Just you.
I love the lyrics line that goes "I'm just a rusty old relic covered in dust" how fitting to this life we live. It's all vanity like king Solomon said.
Song so true. I'm 70, many folks have lost their mates and are grieving. My heart breaks for them. I' myself didn't have the pleasure of having a forever mate, yet I grieve just the same.
I lost my youngest son almost 3 months ago. It's so hard, so overwhelming and seems almost unbearable! He was 43. My faith in my Lord and his word is the only thing that is sustaining me. My husband's health is not good and we have 1 older son left. No daughter-in-laws or grandchildren. Just us 3 BUT we have our faith and so did my son that passed. I know I will see him again! For anyone going through grief it's part of the process and normal. I know i will never be the same again. Thank you dear Jesus for taking my son's pain and suffering away. 🙏♥️
Well Carolyn you have me and all of our brothers and sisters. I love you sis! Thank you Jesus for Carolyn and her family! Praise be to Your Holy Name! Amen!
What a sad, but beautiful song! When we grow old, we tend to feel confused, isolated and lonely. Until we notice lots of others with similar problems who feel exactly the same.
79 years old! I matured in the 60’s & the 70’s but the greatest times were the 80’s & the early 90’s. I was 10’ tall, everyone knew my name. I just need some help figuring out When I Grew Old! I love this song!!
Sometimes I can’t believe but my mind still says I’m young my heart I got Jesus I’m in his hands now reach out too God he loves us all we are his children
This is, hands-down, my new favorite song. Bravo to everyone who had a hand in its production. It's perfect in lyrics, arrangement and delivery. I'm gonna be seventy-seven soon. God's number for an ending is the number seven, for on that day, He rested, so I'm a little nervous about it. Having been writing songs most of my life {Horse Cactus Music - here on TH-cam} and from a well-known songwriting family {Cody Brooks is my nephew, etc} when a song is this important, it strikes me right in the right part of my heart. God-inspired, godly in every way, this beautiful rendition is a sure perennial. You guys are as good as anyone would ever need to be. Thanks for what could easily be a number one country song.
Psalm 90 verse 10 - "The days of our years are threescore and ten...." - You're doing good! I turned 68 recently but still feel more like my 8 year old self playing cowboys with my brothers (I lost a younger one in September). I only realize I've gotten older when I look in the mirror without my glasses. God is so very good, and I'm so thankful for all His promises. A week goes by so quickly now though - and that also reminds me!
Incredibly excellent song. Just turned 61, it seems like just yesterday, that me, my 3 brothers and the neighborhood kids were jumping our Schwinn Stingrays over homemade wooden ramps. Today, I'm retired, aching from a lifetime of numerous athletic, hard work and also some dumb injuries. Lately, I find myself often wondering this exact thing. Very well done, thank you!
I just turned 61 also in October. The ole body pains have kicked in. I realized last year that my 50's are now gone too. Where'd my life go ? What ? I'm not 32 anymore ? Nope. I'm not. Well...I Raised 2 kids. Raised 1 grandchild. She grew up and left recently then poof I suddenly 😮got older. ❤😢 Just woke up one day after she left and I was not young anymore. What a shock ! Overnight !!! Now I'm Working through it... With God helps me. Glad I have him by my side. 😊 We all need to truly enjoy every moment of everyday we are breathing because it goes by fast. Then on to our next life. For me I've chosen God and Heaven as my destiny. Hope you and everyone truly really lives the rest of their lives daily instead of letting it slip silently away. Too fast. Great song ....keep singing.
I'm 51 years old. I remember the day I graduated high school it was 1989 I joined the United States Marine corps. Mos was 2336. Me and my guys just knew we were the toughest son of a b****** in the world. Two tours in Iraq one in Afghanistan. And then my life changed February 14th 2006. An IED and two bullets had my name on them. I survived... Two of my buddies didn't. Let me tell you this wheelchair makes me feel old. The pain....😣😑😐 Yea I'm grateful to be alive....but the truth is sometimes I'm not. But through all that hell, I saw my son born, I saw my daughter born. They keep me loving life. Oh and this old dog named Odin. 😊 Till Valhalla Semper Fi
World is becoming unrecognizable. My Aunt Mary said life in her 90s was lonely. Her sisters and friends were gone and no one shared her memories of the good times. Died at 97.
Wow! About time somebody said this! I'm 75yrs old and I still listen to the old, good Music like it was yesterday. We were true, we stood for peace & love. We wanted to Bless you all. Thank you JoedBold for seeing us!
I lost my wife , 66 years old last week. We have been married since 1989. I sat in the hospital with her 12 hours a day for almost two weeks. Toward the end she started hallucinating, contracted a condition DIC where the body clots and bleeds, watched her body core temp drop to hypothermia , I looked at my daughter as she wept and told her, I'm sorry it's time honey, turned to the Doctor with a nod, he replied you are so right Sir we are doing her more harm than good. So proud of my daughter as I told her this is the hardest thing in her life she will have to endure, all else will be fine. We have yet to find out what caused her illness as she was fine prior to all of this. While taking care of matters this week I was reminded how all of our gained material wealth that we work so hard for has no value what so ever, only the time you spend with loved one's is the upmost importance as one day we all will take our turn for that "cycle of life." Her date of birth December 25, 1956 ❤️ 😥
It might have been caused by cov. vaccinations if she had them. So sorry for your loss.
Word . Chin up fella 🇬🇧
God bless you with comfort and peace.
@@Metamorphica2 I cannot recall how many times that question was asked of me, yes she had all the covid vaccinations, Transported to the number one hospital in California, top rated ICU in the Nation, Cedars and as a teaching hospital seen by over 50 physicians. A professor even asked permission to write full literature on her case for his lectures. Something was breaking down her muscle tissue which is very toxic to the liver and kidneys. All I could do was hold her hand and let her know how much she was loved and so sorry. Hoping her autopsy will reveal the cause. When did we get old?
You are so right. I'm sorr for yalls loss.
I just turned 78 last April. I thought I was "Forever Young". Worked out at the gym. Did weight training. Ate healthy, took my vitamins. No liquor, no drugs. Lived a pretty clean life. Loved the same person for 40 years until they passed away in 2017. How did I get to where I am ? The one thing that has made me old is being alone. Society is pretty sickening right now. All the things I fought for my whole life seems to be slowly taken away. It's almost all behind me now and in a way, I'm glad. One day soon, I'll be free........
Thank you for sharing. Please read the gospel of John and Romans and ask the Lord to reveal Himself to you. Eternity is certain. For proof google the latest evidence on the Shroud of Turin and the chariot wheels filmed in the Red Sea. Signs and wonders that were promised by God to the end times generation . In regards to society read 2nd Timothy 3: 1-4 or just google it if you don't have a Bible. God bless and keep you.
Sounds like you’ve made a good fist of growing old if you ask me and younger people (60,s) can learn from someone like you so share your knowledge - I’m sure there’s more life in that old dog yet - take care my friend and stay safe !
Things seem bad but other's have it worse, go help someone who needs it
Cry out to the Savior cause you’re close to the point of no return. Jesus is real and His word tells us what we need to do before we take our last breath. Jesus has changed me inside and out so I know He is real and alive in 2023.
Yes one day we all will but you could feel real proud of how much you have accomplished and made a difference in this world you are a very unique human being no one else can take that from you bless you!! Just so,you know l believe that all,of us in the 70+ group tend to,feel hurt and forgotten and yes we have been in many different ways but hell am going out by having the time of my life and I don’t give a stuff about this age anymore but until l found this wonderful site l smiled and thought I DONT FEEL ALONE ANYMORE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Someone said, "We blinked and we are here. We are old. It goes that fast." For all of you young folks out there, if the good Lord lets you live to an "old" age, take note. Life goes by very fast. You probably don't give it even a second's worth of thought as you go about your busy days, but you will be here before you know it. Slow down, cherish every breath you have been given, get off of your phone for a few minutes, and just enjoy being alive. And even more important, get to know Jesus as your personal Lord and savior. Without Him, all else is worthless.
Man…did you get it right….can remember years ago like it was yesterday to some extent, but the key will be if Christ judge us to be in His paradise.
Amen
i knew at 15 there wasn't enough time and raced thru time, crammed more than most into its preciousness and now i'm 80, grateful yet hungry, just so much to this life worth the adventure. even going for it isn't enough. defeat and victory grow the same.
its in the doing that matters, bumps wake up calls to a calling . . . there's more.
I am 80 yrs and I tell that phrase blink and you’ll be my age to my 30 yr old kids
Trith
At 80 years old, I’m still waiting for “old” to hit me. Yes, I’m slower but 29 inside my mind.
Old age is that special territory that many do not get to experience. I feel like you, still young in my heart. Bless you.
I’m a 74 year old lady and I get irritated when someone reminds me that I’m old. I feel 40. My body sometimes reminds me I’m not. I’ll live to 100. I’ve always felt that way. I’m super active, still lifting 50# bags of horse feed with a bad back. I’m building and filling garden beds, and about to build a house, my 3rd. I think that staying off the couch, staying active, and eating properly keeps me young, and NEVER letting someone else tell me what I can’t do.
Awesomeness ❤
That's wut I worry about. My memory slipping. It started happening after a car crash. Physically and mentally hard on me. But I prevail! God is good
❤⚘👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
At 65, I miss my younger days because this world today is not what I grew up in. Problems, yes but nothing like today.
You are so right I'm the same age as you 64
I hear you. It all changed .... Unfortunately not for the better
Amen I’m 64 also and I don’t know how to live in this world anymore
I will be 64 in a few short months. Your comment is so true. Life was not perfect when we were growing up but the world today is horrendous
I guess I remember more than most I remember Vietnam. Nixon, Reagan. Bush and 911. Anthrax in the mail. And now Trump and his attack on our capital and constitution, we have lived thur some bull shitt. I'm mid 60s and I never expected a past president to say he wants to be a dictator and remove our constitution, Trump has set a new low and the Republicans think that's a good deal , just remember that the 14th amendment section three disqualifies Trump and Republicans involved in the insurrection from holding office.
I'm 45 yrs old, I sit here listening to this and reading all of my elders posts. I respect the hell out of all of you! The hardest workers, most responsible and dedicated humans that exist. I'm younger but I have an old soul. My heart goes out to you all.
You sir are the most respectful person I’ve seen on TH-cam. This whole comment section is great.
I'm 47 and feel the same way.
Sometimes you feel old even in your twenties,to some extent its a state of mind
I hear ya…when did I get old?
Thank you young man, what we need are more young people like yourself! God bless you
I’m 74, my husband 76. We started “going steady” at 15 & 17. Just recently we realized we are at the end. It’s a very sobering thought. Sooner or later, every human being will have this realization. Memories are made when you aren’t even aware. Enjoy life, and as they say… don’t sweat the small stuff!
❤
I hear that, cindy. I keep planning for next year, and assume there will be more of them. I try to picture my life alone here, and it's a bit daunting, then I try to picture HIS life alone here, and that's equally daunting. I'd much rather be the last one standing, for whatever it's worth. Not that we have much say in the matter =)
We are almost the same my wife is 75 I am 76 Married December 21st 1966, My wife was still in high school I was on 2 wk leave after basic had to go back Jan 1st . Christmas is still a big happy time for us. We did not have a wedding just our friends and immediate family being our friends and family the feelings we had at that time get repeated every Christmas season, my wife would not have it any other way. Everyone thought we made a mistake , glad they were wrong. We are at the end too but death won't happen in our lifetime so why worry.
So sad about you losing your longtime friend and husband. I married my high school sweetheart. We eloped and married at age 19 and 17 in 1975. Still together and had 3 children and 6 grandchildren. We can’t take anything for granted as we never know when the Lord will take us home . God bless you Cindy ❤
EXACTLY.VALUE EACH DAY OF LIFE WE ARE GIVEN.
At 73 years old, I am one year into a two-year cancer treatment plan, just had my fourth mini stroke in the past twenty years and was just diagnosed with an aneurysm. Having already lived longer than I thought I would, THIS SONG WILL KEEP ME GOING! Thank You!
You've got this my friend! Keep keeping on. And thanks for sharing because your story will help me to keep going some day.
Feel your pain bro
Gonna say a prayer for ya
Stay strong 💪 you will be fine
please keep going ,my dad had an aneurysm,cancer ,bypasses,bleeding in the kidneys.He was in hospital for over three months this year they called code blue on him over three times and he is still here. Never give up. thinking of you and wishing you all the best.
Prayers for healing and comfort 🙏
If you are young and watching this -Take note.
What do you think is. Young . ?
50
If your older what this lol its ok we got this is only life
@@JohnTimothy-m8x You will know that you are old when your friends start dying all around you. I know this to be true as I have lost 6 very close friends in the last3 years. Voids in your life that cant be filled.
Dam straight you young men and women before you know it your gonna blink and this song will hit you like a sledgehammer! Thanks for the great song boys you helped me go back in time and back again. I’m 61 and can’t believe it …. Time caught me but this song says it all thank you!
We are not old, we are older than some,
Younger than others
We are grateful for each day we awake and see the sun ☀️!!
Yes grateful...grateful, indeed!
Yes ma'am ❤
Amen 🙋
Everything from grass to mankind’s only goal is to wake up and feel the warmth of the sunshine ❤😎✌️
I am older than God but younger than dirt
I'm a girl that just celebrated my 77 birthday. The exterior may show some wear and tear the chassis is a bit run down, but the engine is still running and humming right along and for that, I am more than grateful. Kindness, the best medicine.💞💞💞
This 75 year old boy says good for you. Kindness heals a broken heart.
I love you
Agreed 👍
I'm a 75 year old boy and you just turned me on!!!
Happy Birthday! 🎂
I'm 70 years old and my grandparents pretty much raised me. This life ain't easy you've got to come out fight'n and go out fight'n. The Lord never promised us a rose garden down here but He did promise we could be with Him up there. Just make sure when your time comes you accepted Jesus and been born again.
I totally understand!
👍👍👍! Totally agree
Amen praise JESUS
Amen!!
Amen brother 🙏
Growing old is not for amateurs. Never ever regret getting old because it is a privilege that has been denied to many. Any morning you wake up, it is a pretty good start.
This is one of those songs that just is right on... So authentic
I said almost the same thing you did!
My granny always said "It's a good day when you wake up." I am almost 62 and I think of her saying that in my mind every day ~~ and I laugh! O my, it feels so good to laugh. Even on the worst of days, try to belt one out. If you have to .."fake it til you make it" ! Ah! Another quote, with another story ~ for another day
Yeah, at 80 I figure that if my feet hit the floor first in the morning, it's all good.
Absolutely I lost my big sister in 1996 she was 35. And my baby brother in 2011 he was 34 😢😢😢😢😢
It's weird being the same age as old people.
lol...:) It is.
But your heart will stay young p.s. on the inside .
U deserve more likes but what do I know I'm a relic
@@Pureblood32 I'll add a hundred likes! 👍
Remember the ‘I’ve fallen and can’t get up’ ads we laughed at when we were young? I understand now and it’s not funny!
I used to take my elderly mom to her doctor appointments. At one appointment- she jumped up onto the examination table she told the nurse "you know I never felt old until I turned 91" 🤯❤️ Bless her heart-she MEANT IT!! I'm turning 72 this month and I have wondered these same thoughts in this song, as my health declined. I keep her words in my heart and try to stay positive, but this song speaks to me and ABOUT ME. Thanks for a song many of us can relate to!! 👍🏼
❤ it ❤ it
At 74, my health started to be an issue. Breast cancer, Covid, Trimalleolar Ankle Fracture needing two surgeries, C Dif, and now a hand problem that has extended to my shoulder, yet to be diagnosed correctly at 78. Depression and anxiety over a moving added to the mix. Life is no longer fun or satisfying with my 59 year marriage.
Great song. True facts great singer thanks
❤
I can relate to this great song at 75 … with Fibromyalgia and other issues I’m doing my best at self care … while thinking of the days of youth gone by … hoping my son will always enjoy his life. ❤🙏🕊🌎✨
My daddy (rest his soul) used to say an old man wants only one thing. That's the chance to do it all over again. Man, aint it the truth!
and know what I know now!
I'm 76. My husband died last July. I've decided no more grieving. I don't want to live in the past. I don't know what my destination is, but the journey is always exciting! Just being alive is exciting!!❤😊
My husband passed away in January of 2022 and he would have wanted me to have a good life without him
I'm 82 and still looking forward to each day until there is not another. I've had a very happy life and thankful. Looking forward to next day as the page turns.
Yes!!!🙏❤️🔥🙏
I am very sorry to read you lost someone so dear to you. It may sound trite since it's said so often by people that don't know either of you but "he would have wanted you to move on and be happy." My father often said two things about this phase of life. He spoke Greek so the rough translation into English of the first is "give flowers to the living, the dead don't need them." His meaning was don't wait until someone dies to heap flowers on their grave showing how much you loved them. Once they are gone, they are gone. Show them that you love them while they are alive since they won't see or smell those ephemeral flowers on their grave. The other thing he very often said was "life is for the living." It has two meanings, really, but it boils down to "while you are alive, you should live!" Don't sit around waiting to die or wallowing around in grief or self pity. Live! Life is a precious gift, use it!
I turn 60 next year and feel this song to the bones. I’m wondering after all these years about when exactly did I get old. It’s surreal. This is a fantastic song and lyrics. Good work, Derrick Dove and the Peacekeepers!
Me too. I turn 60 in April 😢
Know just what he's saying. 65 in April. Thank God for memories!
Same here, 60 in April.👍Great song.
Same here- August- 🙏
Me too! How the hell did I get here and where did it go? 59 and holding 😂
I wouldn’t give up getting old for anything. Youth was very very hard for me, but now I know and follow Jesus! It’s the best life , going through pain or not, knowing Jesus is highly recommended!
We must have walked in the same boots. I can completely relate.
Only through Christ does any of this begin to make any sense.
AMEN!!! I just met Jesus 6 years ago at the age of 61 and I feel like I just started living every since!!! He has literally made me a new creation and I will live every last day I have thanking Him and praising Him in anticipation of meeting Him face-to-face one day! I pray for anyone that doesn’t know Him that they will get to know Him & rock their world! In Jesus name I pray. Amen. 💜🙏🏻✝️
@@cyndimathis222 that’s beautiful! Congratulations!!
Yes and Amen❤
I was born in 1962 and turned 62 July 2024.ear buds in blasting that music and locked the world outside. The late 70s 80'S 90's were the best many great memories. Back when things made sense. Great tunes. Still here September 2024!!!!
Me too. Born August 30, 1962, this year I'm 62. I feel like this is an amazing year!! So yeah.
@@dinacrow7164 making it to the age of your birth date is once in a life time. Not to many people catch this.congrats
I recently almost lost my husband. Married 36 years. Together 39. As I was following the paramedics to the hospital I thought, this is how it happens. This is when I become a widow. In the ER watching the staff cut his clothes off and trying to save his life was a surreal experience. The physician said he had a few hours left at the time I called 911. His illness came on quickly and was out of the blue. He survived. I am grateful of course. But it was a wake up call. That we are at the end of life and need to prepare. We’ve started getting rid of the belongings we’ve lovingly collected. Things that hold memories. But it must be done as we have no children and I don’t want strangers sorting through our things. The end of life is strange. Very strange. Be grateful folks, for every minute. Make as many beautiful memories as you can. Have fun. Get outside and breath the air. Take in nature. Move about while your body lets you. Because it was yesterday it seemed that I was a young girl who met a young man. We blinked and we are here. We are old. It goes that fast.
I wish I could give your post 1,000 likes. It is simple and sweet and says so much.
I wish you well and a smooth departure.
I'm 76 and finally feel old. Even with the aches and pains still happy to see all my 11 great grandkids. It's a good life. Still with my wife of 55 yrs.
God Bless!
You are blessed but you know that.
@@KatShotz Yes I do for sure.
This life is temporary we are just passing through. our hope is eternal life through Jesus Christ. The best is yet to come

Amen
Amen brother.
It is Just a vapor!! Then We Go Home,Put Your Trust into Jesus So You will Be ready when He carries Us Home!! Much Love From Alabama!!
Anyone the wrong side of 50 can relate to this song. Growing old is hard to accept but what choice do we have? Be kind to yourself, age gracefully. And maybe, just maybe you can die with some dignity.
So very true! 😊
You speak the absolute truth my friend.
50. Get a grip.
'wrong side of 50'?
Plenty don't ever get close..tomorrow is not promised. Everyday above ground is a good one.
How old would you be if you didn't know the day you were born?
60 hurts more but I am here and I show up everyday!
Make it count.
Amen..
I just heard this for the first time and it really sums up how I've been feeling lately. I'm 62 years old. I know my best years are behind me. Time is more precious than ever.
Well, at 64 I agree. But I look forward to the day I go home to be with Jesus. 😇
61. Same.
I'm 62 in 3 weeks, worked hard all my life, she
56 knee replacement then March 2020 got told I've got multiple sclerosis progressive, now totally disabled. This has hit me hard, listening to this song. God bless us all I say. Your 21 then before we know ot God now 62.
The best is yet to come = Heaven with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior = Love ❤️ God and love 💗 everyone 😮😊❤
Me too 😊
I'm only 51 and my old ass soul felt this song deeply. I miss the old days!
You are young
Wait til you 60 no worries it will feel like six months and you there and it SUCKS
53 5 heart attacks I'm close😂 it's been a rough living and life.hope I get to see my lord❤
I can’t quit listening to this, should have 100 million views

It's #1 on my chart. 😍
This song hits home for all of us on life’s off-ramp.
Life's off ramp .I got to remember that 😅
"Life's off ramp." ❤
Now there's a song..."Life's off-ramp". Too late for u-turns.
True
At 81, I agree
At 81 years old I can relate totally to this song. Don’t let the old man in!
I just turned 81 I can certainly feel this
I'm a singer , songwriter this is a very exceptionally written song . 10 on my scale
It sure hits home when i listen to it
Dear Brother, this song hits home for women as well. It is sad how we have grown older in a blink of an eye. I remember my dad telling me (God rest his soul) He said to me “Don’t get old, it’s not worth it” He was most certainly right!!! I stumbled upon your channel and subscribed. I love your music. I thank you ❤
My Dad said the same thing. He had always been healthy and hated the disintegration of his body.
Damn I'm 59 yrs old, I'd don't know where time went. I lost 15 yrs of my life by making stupid decisions in and out of prison 6 in a half the first-time 5 the second time 3 the last, don't have any more in me. I definitely regret it all and what I lost.😢
Brother you are 💯 percent right .One day we are in our twenties the next day at 70 .Lord Help US !!❤
@@Kevin-qn2zq Move past the 'oops' and find the 'yays'. You exist. You have worth. You are far from done. Here for a reason. I'm 76, still trotting along life's highway. Grins to ya.
@@Kevin-qn2zq😢 I’m so sorry but as well look up ⬆️ you learned from it and now can be new ❤if no prison time you may have never learned and been gone already. Ya got great years ahead beginning now!!!
This is my song... I always come back to it❤🙏im 40 and feel 400...I was ripped up in a motorcycle accident..I worked for years tk be decent and nkt have to go to the hospital..I lost a wife to death gained a good woman...lost my mom and many family ...we used to gBe Sunday dinner with 35 people. Now none...we all have these stories so im not special..but some dnt have these stories or won't cause sadly they never had the family to loose.and those are who pray for.. I ❤ u all 🙏
Great song! I'm sixty-six and my wife is sixty-seven! My wife is currently dying of cancer and my body has also started to wither. In my mind I still feel like I'm eighteen years old, but my body tells me to "Pay attention"! All I know is that everything in life changes. I know that the best thing for all of us is to accept the fact that we are going to get old and then the next generation will take over! I want to stay alive as long as I can for my daughters and my grandchildren! However, no one knows when their last time on earth will be!
Stay strong.
Bless you both . Just lost my Dad this year.he was 84 I am 57.Its never easy getting old ,but if you are on the Move every day even just a little it's good .Be at peace everything will work out .God is in control.sending prayers 🙏🙏
@@margritpiepes8242 Thank you!!
@@tomlineberger you are so very welcome🌹
God bless you both!
Thankful i realized at 63 i can get a new start in life. Watching the Lord turn back the clock to renew my health and restore my youth. God is truly good.
❤That’s great - God Is so, so Good ‼️🛐🎚️💟
I realized at 58 the office walls were "closing in". I retired (2019) & now spend most of my time alone at my rural family home place (still keeping my apt in the city).
I call this change -- my second chance at life.
I'm grateful I've had a lot of new experiences. The wonderment & work of country life has kept me physically young & young at heart. But country life is hard. There's no Kroger just around the corner and people are kind but not too welcoming into social circles.
I'm leaning towards accepting I'm a converted city girl and am ready to return "home" (city). Simply hate to give up something I started.
I could use that same age, this year has been taking a huge toll on my teeth, my skin, everything. I'm active, I eat, lots of spring water, vitamins?? I think the emotional toll has a physical effect.....
@@dianedoyle-mccahon4979- It absolutely DOES! Blessings! (from a 70-year-old Hippie Chick)
My brother sent me this song.
Sent him bk a msg "we not getting old, brother, we just geting closer to home"
Fr❤😢😊😮😅❤
PS beautiful song of awakening♡♡♡
Amen!
Nice .!❤ Wish I had a brother..
This is the most profound, and yet simple statement. Thank you
SO TRUE.....
Love this song,I'm an almost 89 yrs old woman,wondering why I'm still here Fair health and of course my family wants me here forever,they say.bless their hearts ❤
❤
You are blessed. I am 86. Youngest so left behind. Not just family but friends. But God has a reason for me to be here.
My grandmother was 97 when she passed and always asked that question. I told her God wasn't done with her yet. Someone else needed her smile, her hug, a kind word from her, her sound advice, her humor. She was such a sweet lady. So God isn't done with you yet. You have things to offer that others need! ❤
I will turn 71 next month. I just started a sesonal retail job. Being around young people has definitely helped me mentally not feel my age. However, when I get home from work , my legs and back bring me back to reality. This song is great, as is the performance.
Be graceful everyday you feel those legs because of using them! Good sign 🤗
I'll be 71 on Thanksgiving. All I do is work on my old pickup and motorcycle if and when I feel like it. I have surely slowed down.
Yes being around the young and not stagnate your brain helps to keep you young!
Being alone in life , for 12 years, without my husband of 47 years is what has made me feel older!! Without the good Lords provision and protection I would not have been able to keep going!! I am blessed with many happy memories , And with God's blessings I continue on lifes pathway.
I am an old Viet Nam vet age 71.Beautiful song.💖💖
Hey Rattler! You ain’t old! You’re just getting warmed up! I’d like to tell you how much I appreciate you and our other fellow patriots for your special military service. Men in my family were Army, Navy and Air Force and I understand (somewhat) separation from your family and friends. I hope life always treats you kindly! Thank you for keeping them folks in Nam busy! e.conboy

Disabled Navy Vet here. Thank you for your bravery. I appreciate your service, esp in such turmoil. I kindly welcome you home! SALUTE! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I have been a saved born again Christian for 49 years and am 68 years old. I've had my share of ups and downs...but for the grace of God and Him getting me through hard times I would have fallen into deep despair. And the best is yet to come when I leave this earth and go to my heavenly home...that I know is really what life is all about. 🌹
Jesus is my Savior too!❤ Thanks for your testimony!
Amen. Born again since April 25, 2004. Best day of my life 🙏
Born Again since 1976. A long time now. I was a drunk but free from that moment on. Best thing that has ever happened to anyone. Trust Jesus time must be short now.
Amen!!!
Old age is better with Jesus. I know where I’m going, no worries. Praise God!
I’ll be 70 in October! Man, this song hits home. It’s funny how things that bothered me in the past aren’t even in my thoughts anymore. Fuck it, I’m going to live what years I have left doing everything I can to live the rest of my life the way I want! To any youngsters reading this, believe me, life passes by at a high rate of speed! Be kind and enjoy every day you have! 😉🎸
Just found your song and love it. That line about pain, yes I have physical pain. But the worst pain comes when someone (many someone's) are gone and I still remain.
Amen
So true, especially when the ones who are gone were gone way too early in their life. I am not the healthiest person, and I wonder how is it that I am still here and my brothers, younger than me are not.
@@lizaC0001 I hear you. 2 of my Sister's passed away and then my hero, my big brother, died almost 2 years ago and the pain is still the same as it was the day's that they passed.
@@debbie4503 Yes Debbie, the pain just stays, and day by day we try to make the best of things. It reminds me of what Caroline Leaf, a neuroscientist said, that we never get over the loss of loved ones, we just get through it. Saturdays are difficult as the radio plays all the eighties music, and my mind is with my brothers. I often cry, it helps to feel better. Best wishes to you, may the pain of heart ease a little.
I don't know if this song made me more or less depressed, but as a guy feeling old, I liked it.
SO true, I was strong, young full of piss and vinegar, then I awake at 60+. Albeit I found love, God, children, and grandchildren, I have found the key in keeping the demons at bay and there is peace. May you all be blessed.
I woke up one morning and I was old. Turned 80.
My grandmother was 97 whenever passed. My 2nd mom is always saying she is old. She just turned 82. I told her she can't say she's old till she's 97! 😊
My mom always said that one day you’re 21 and then you turn around and you’re 81. I truly believe her now. God rest her soul. She lived to be 92!
From 50 on , life speeds up!
Know, that, as you bury your parents, that you are the NEXT GENERATION !
While young & healthy live life fully, joyfully & gratefully !
EVERY DAY FROM BIRTH, IS A GIFT!
Save tears for children list in childhood, or for parents who don’t get to see their children reach adulthood !
I’m 75, in terrible health, & I wake up thankful every day that I’m still here to watch my grandchildren’s milestones !😊
Hauser, Leonard Cohen, & ballet on TH-cam just round out my beautiful end of life times! ❤️🔥❤️
@@patb9463 said that very thing to my wife at a funeral … we are no longer on deck , we are walking up,to the plate …
This song really hits home for me. I am 78 years old, and never considered myself old. But the last year has proved me wrong. My mind is still young, but my body has aged a lot in the last year. "Old age" has a way of sneaking up on you so fast, one day you are in your youth and the next you are OLD. Enjoy your life my friends, it's a short ride to old.
I’m 70 where did it go ????
I’m 70 years old I’m blessed God let me live this long.old age is not for sissies God bless you all.we might be old but we still rock
I was recently diagnosed with early onset dementia. This song really says it all...❤

Sounds crazy BUT eat lots of mixed nuts everyday...two handfuls a day will do ( DO IT!).
Research it.
Here love 💕 to you
Believe in Jesus. My husband's Heavenly Birthday is tomorrow, would be 71. Five years of missing him but know I will see him again because of Jesus!

I believe too.
Amen 🙌🏻
🎼 When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore
And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there
When the roll, is called up yonder
When the roll, is called up yonder
When the roll, is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder I'll be there 🎼
I'm 73 yrs. old . Surely when did I grow old ? Seem only yesterday-- Singing,playing,dancing,laugh- ing. Oh, how time flies!!
Agree
Serving my savior Jesus gives this gettin’ old thing purpose here on earth while I look forward to my new body in Heaven!❤ No pain and no sorrow, Amen!
AMEN! GOD’s grace is sufficient!
We will escape the corruption of this world and be given a new body in heaven!❤
Thank you for this comment. There is only Life in Christ Jesus!!❤
@@purrrfect6032Amen. Born again too 🙏
100% correct, 100%🙏
I once had a boss who could have easily retired comfortably, but he still drove 40 miles to work 6 days a week. One day I asked him why he didn't retire, & he said something that's stuck with me to this day. He said John, "you need a reason to get up in the morning". In other words, staying busy doing what you love is the key to a long life.
I "retired" from the outdoor power equipment industry at age 62, & started a auto detailing business 15 years ago. I'm 76 now, and still work 6 days a week at my own pace doing what I love. Yeah, I have my share of aches & pains, but I have never been happier. I always say, I'd rather wear out than rust out!
I encourage anyone our age who is feeling down on themselves, to do some soul searching, find that thing you love to do, turn off the TV & get the hell off the couch! Find a hobby, volunteer, mentor young people, make things, repair things! That is my prayer for you 🙏
great advise, we need to find our "Reason For Being"💞
Good advice. Love the phrase, I'd rather wear out than rust out😊. My mother Iived to be 87 and eventually wore herself out, got Alzheimer and dementia, but still remembered me, thank God.
Very very true
I agree. I was a jogger until this morning, and realized with a tear in my heel, i have to return to fast walking, which I resisted for the last 3 months, The pain levels were too much to bear. I am 66 years young, i always told myself, and the truth is, never stop working. There must be a purpose to wake up every morning, mine was to go for a jog for 10 kilo each morning, it keeps me alive. Keeps the depressing away, because one is not so busy with the mind anymore, that is still dangerous for me. Too much time to think, too much time to feel lonely and too much time to feel the pain of losing so much in my life. So i keep myself busy and healthy by being active as much as possible, There is nothing like nature to draw nearer to the Lord. But if one has the opportunity to continue to work as long as possible, one must grab it and hold on to that, otherwise you grow old much too quickly.
@@tersiaraath799 perfectly said
It might not be what you expected, but if you are old, appreciate it. Some never get the chance.
Lordy buds, you sure hit the mark. I'm a widow, my parents are gone, my sister is gone. My friends moved away and for 15 years I left my roots to start a new life. That is until hubby died. I'm 74 and still kicking back on the losses. I have taught myself new skills. But it sure gets lonely. This is a amazing song.
And I wish you well, it's best to love. So get out there and start to kicking who's to know what may happen.
I’m 81. I look in the mirror and wonder how getting old happened so quickly. Then I remember all those my age and younger who are no longer here on earth. Aging is a gift of every day we are given. If we are relatively healthy, it’s another gift. Live, be happy, be as active as you can because we don’t know what tomorrow might bring.
Beautifully said
Toxic positivity.
I’m 72 years old so is my wife my wife has Crohn’s disease she’s very sick. We’re here for a minute. And then the next thing you know, we’re on our way out. It’s never easy. Life is short. Make good use of it. Time goes by so fast. I’m not in very good health either. Material things mean nothing at all absolutely nothing. Without your love, life really doesn’t have much left. be kind and be grateful to people be thankful for what you have ❤
Yup so sad that people don't get it til death is at the door
So relatable. Our culture glorifies the young and healthy. As we age and our bodies break down, we disappear in our culture. 😢 We're ignored, de-valued and forgotten, mostly covertly. Very unhealthy for a society to thrive. It's a a sad, sad situation. Tx for this song good sir! 🙏🏼 🇺🇸 ♥️
My Daddy ( my hero) was a Vietnam Vet. He was consumed with about 8 different cancers in the last 20 years of his life which was caused by The Agent Orange exposure. He didn't die in the War, but the war still killed him.
I can totally relate. My dad the same. Agent orange. PTSD he's not the same person. He can't live by himself without trying to take his own life because it haunts him so bad. Luckily I still have him for a bit but he tried to hide the huge pollips they found when doing his colonoscopy. He came from the biopsy after I just talked to the doctor who said results will be back in a few weeks and he'll have a follow up. My dad got in the car and I asked how he was feeling and he said oh good they found less than last time only a few small ones and they're all benign. I knew he was lying the doctor just told me 7 very large ones and he wouldn't have his biopsy results right then anyway 🤦♀️ he was a trooper all right. Still waiting for the results and I will get them. But you're 100% correct they may not have died in that war but they paid the ultimate sacrifice. That war was disgusting. My dad was also bipolar 1 before he was drafted so in my opinion someone in that state of mind is a recipe for disaster. The way people treated them when they came home, spitting on them and everything else makes me sick. I hope karma gets every single one of them. Did they think they wanted to go some Still in high school?? I don't know what is wrong with people. And then people don't understand why there are homeless vets? Because they don't have anyone to help them and can't function because they fought for their freedom that's why!! Ugh so frustrating. Bless you and your father. I definitely feel your pain.
@@user-kgroves13hi was young and really didn’t understand why our soldiers were treated so badly. I knew that it was wrong and I appreciated what our military had done for us.
I was then and am now ashamed of this country.
Ty and God Bless you for sharing your story. May the Lord grant you peace dear one.
Will turn 71 in a few days, I am blessed beyond measure, still working the same job for 27 years. I thank the Lord every day for ever step, breath and the strength he gives me to get through each day. I am the oldest of 6 lost 2 brothers in 2 years always through I should be the first to go but it's all about God's plan. Always think of this verse in the Bible, I will look until the hills from wench cometh my help,my help comes from the Lord,the Maker of heaven and earth.
Have you looked into Stockholm Syndrome? It sounds like an abusive relationship with a manipulative father figure. There is help available to escape the clutches of organised religion misrepresenting fear as love. I hope you find your way out.
I'm 68...4 months into cancer....50 years as a mechanic...no eight hour days...lol...I've worked 2 lifetimes in one...didn't see 68 coming...but grateful, taking it in stride...love your music...❤
I wish you luck and skilled doctors and hope you are able to get rid of the cancer.
All the best scott❤🇦🇺
Went to bed then got up listening to this song,
It don't seem that long between yesterday & today!
At 73, my body hears you friend!!
Thank you Lord for bringing me this far, when i could have been taken out so many times before!
I'm 65 we're did it all go, I have Jesus ,l have always had Jesus. My brothers and sisters have nothing to do with me , it's ok they don't have Jesus in there life , l forgive l forget . But I'm still there sister. I love this song because they are getting older ,they better forgive and forget .Get Jesus in there life . Help them God before it's to late.
Amen....my husband passed suddenly May 18th,2021 from an aneurysm and our adult children turned their backs on us during Covid because we wouldn't take the vaccines. I have God in my heart and life. I forgive them and I have left it in God's hands now
My brain think I am 20 something.
My body says, "Oh hell no, you old!"
Great song. ❤
My 20:something mind is always arguing with my 67 yr body and I’m stuck in the middle
Your body needs to put a verb in that sentence.
I've got that same battle going on!
❤❤❤😂😂😂
Right on, brother. Rode the Harley down the coast this morning thinkin the same thing. Every day is a gift.
I've listened to this song tonight over and over, about 4 times. Reading the precious comments that others have shared here, crying my eyes out! Yet I am realizing how important it is to finish this race, even if we're walking or crawling to the finish line. I know Jesus also knows pain and suffering, and I find comfort and peace in reading psalms in the Bible and pray now for each one here who is going through really hard times. ❤️
Ditto here. Come Lord Jesus, come.
Just turned eighty, am more thankful now about my life than I have ever been, feel good (almost better than before), I give thanks daily for a good life, amen:)
My dad just sent me this song. I know this is how all you old timers are feeling but age is just a number just keep living your best life with no regrets till the good lord takes you home. Your still young inside I know yall feel it. The younger ones love you and look to you for guidance just remember even if we don't show it we still need you
Amen
age is just a number....Tell that to my body because it has a mind of its own and says otherwise.
Im 61 next week....i have NEURO ENDO CRINE Lung cancer.....no cure...however, i know Jesus.....so when it's my time...I WILL RUN To my SAVIOR....straight into HIS ARMS......yes, i get sad..i want to see my grandchildren grow up....but JESUS knows when it's my time...DO YOU KNOW HIM????? Ask HIM into your HEART...

71 years old and survived 2 strokes 2 heart attacks and 2 deaths in my immediate family..my 38 year old daughter and my husband of 46 years within a year of each other. Also had surgery to remove a tumor and my son moved me so I could be closer to him...I guess for my health emergencies. I am alone with my elderly dog now and this song surely says it all for me.
This song resonates with my life. I have been feeling so very old and exhausted at 52. Like another artist sang, I'm too young to feel this damn old. I'm loving this guy and his music is pure country rock. Being a Georgia girl, he is my people.
Hi Tina 💐💐
52/ im 60 turi=ning 61 omg where did the time go ?
@@cjolly5 Time flies and always leave us with memories! Glad to meet you Cheryl💐💐💐💐💐
Well yea at almost 63..he who believeth in me shall have everlasting life..all pain must be endured.thats the most riveting statement.
This life will end for us all one day but there is a better life to come which will never end and is promise by Jesus Christ, “He who believes in me shall have everlasting life..I am the Resurrection.”
Amen… And praise God, He loves us so much. He gave his only begotten son, and whosoever believes in Him will have everlasting life.
Amen!
Amen.
the way and the Life!

Why don't we hear this on the radio such a great song
Im 69. Veteran. Retired 11 B3V8 USA, USCIS too. I pray we get back on track as America. Been lots of places and done alot too. I still have alot for my Country and some for retirement.
How do you define getting back on track?
Beautiful voice.
Beautiful music.
Beautiful song.
I'm 54 now, I don't Parkinson's, throat Cancer and now lung cancer I don't know where yesterday went and I'm not so sure about tomorrow,, but I'm going to be ok , this life has been amazing, but either way I have my faith my last breath here will be my first in Heaven, Thank You for the memories!
Beautiful lyrics. Really hit me hard. I’m 62 and wonder what happened and what gonna happen. Oh well. Thanks for the song guys. Gonna play it while I sit in the garage and smoke dope today. 😊
Hit it once for me! 74 here.
Rock on, friend.
Onya mate! Doing the same on my back porch👍🇦🇺 68 here😊
Every since I had a heart attack. My life has changed. Been in and out of the hospital. Now I have real bad anxiety and depression. I use play basketball with my kids and lift weights. Now I'm afraid to move. Tying to get over it. It has been so hard. That's when I got old. I know God is with me and he is with you. Don't give up keep going.
This song speaks to my soul. In November 2020 a month I can't remembe because I had covid, yet I'll never forget because covid attacked my heart (I'm in mid stage heart failure with my pacemaker and meds to keep me alive) and my Kidneys (Stage 4A Kidney failure) When did I get old.…. when my life changed forever because of covid. It's not easy being young healthy with my whole life ahead of me and in one month my life has become more of a nightmare than a joy. I wanted to have babies but I won't be here to watch them grow. I'll never be the Grandmother I hoped to be. Hug your loved ones. You never know what might happen the next day, week, month, or year. Thank you for this beautiful song.
Cry out to Jesus, friend, and continue to! He is our only hope at this point in life and our El Rapha (Healer).
I am 80. This song helps because it speaks the truth. Thank you!
I miss the Good Old Days. I wasn't Good and I wasn't Old.
Eastwood quote."Don't let the old man/ woman in"..⚘️♥️⚘️
I was about to quote this comment from Eastwood! I'm nearly 74 about to have a hip replacement operation once that's done I'm adamant I'm going to be just that woman once again 🤞
I learned that song
This song reminds me so much of my father, He always asked the same question and followed it with saying his mind made contracts thar his body couldn't keep. Now that I am old, I ask the same questions! Because now I know what he was really saying!!!!
Hello nice meeting you here I hope you're having a wonderful day, where are you from?
I refuse to grow old. 75 and still going . God Bless us all.
I can't ignore this wonderful and beautiful song, we can't turn back the time, God bless
76 years old and doing great considering that I went through seven weeks of cancer treatments last fall for cancer of the vocal chords. Radiation Mondays through Fridays and chemo on Mondays, Thankfully they got it and I have been cancer free for a year. Amazing how time flies. I feel very fortunate. I am even able to begin singing again. Happy since they weren't sure I would ever talk again. There was a chance that my voice box would have to be removed if the treatments weren't successful. Love this song!
How wonderful that you're singing again! Your spirit shines out in your message here. Blessings, c.
Beautiful song. I’m sitting here older than dirt. Super woman has plummeted like a rock back to earth. Sure wish someone would have taken care of me like I took care of everyone else. This society turns away from the elderly-kids have no time for their old gray mom. That’s the biggest shocker. Give your life to others but don’t give it all. It will take everything you have and wring you out like a dish rag. Time to face another day in this old body. Sorry, this is the reality for lots of old super women like me. At least I managed to have my poetry and painting all for myself. I’ve actually won ribbons totally untrained. Have something for you. Leave something that shows you’ve been here besides kids or houses or money. Just you.
Getting older at 66 isn't the worst part, it's being alone. The older you get, the more time you spend by yourself
I agree!
You are so right
Wow what a great song, am crying now because I can relate, where did life go,? 💯✌️😩🤷
I love the lyrics line that goes "I'm just a rusty old relic covered in dust" how fitting to this life we live. It's all vanity like king Solomon said.
Song so true. I'm 70, many folks have lost their mates and are grieving. My heart breaks for them. I' myself didn't have the pleasure of having a forever mate, yet I grieve just the same.
I lost my youngest son almost 3 months ago. It's so hard, so overwhelming and seems almost unbearable! He was 43. My faith in my Lord and his word is the only thing that is sustaining me. My husband's health is not good and we have 1 older son left. No daughter-in-laws or grandchildren. Just us 3 BUT we have our faith and so did my son that passed. I know I will see him again! For anyone going through grief it's part of the process and normal. I know i will never be the same again. Thank you dear Jesus for taking my son's pain and suffering away. 🙏♥️
Well Carolyn you have me and all of our brothers and sisters. I love you sis! Thank you Jesus for Carolyn and her family! Praise be to Your Holy Name! Amen!
What a sad, but beautiful song! When we grow old, we tend to feel confused, isolated and lonely. Until we notice lots of others with similar problems who feel exactly the same.
79 years old! I matured in the 60’s & the 70’s but the greatest times were the 80’s & the early 90’s. I was 10’ tall, everyone knew my name. I just need some help figuring out When I Grew Old! I love this song!!
Sometimes I can’t believe but my mind still says I’m young my heart I got Jesus I’m in his hands now reach out too God he loves us all we are his children
This is, hands-down, my new favorite song. Bravo to everyone who had a hand in its production. It's perfect in lyrics, arrangement and delivery. I'm gonna be seventy-seven soon. God's number for an ending is the number seven, for on that day, He rested, so I'm a little nervous about it. Having been writing songs most of my life {Horse Cactus Music - here on TH-cam} and from a well-known songwriting family {Cody Brooks is my nephew, etc} when a song is this important, it strikes me right in the right part of my heart. God-inspired, godly in every way, this beautiful rendition is a sure perennial. You guys are as good as anyone would ever need to be. Thanks for what could easily be a number one country song.
7 is also considered a lucky number.
I'd definitely rather look at it like that! @@smileeysface
Psalm 90 verse 10 - "The days of our years are threescore and ten...." - You're doing good! I turned 68 recently but still feel more like my 8 year old self playing cowboys with my brothers (I lost a younger one in September). I only realize I've gotten older when I look in the mirror without my glasses. God is so very good, and I'm so thankful for all His promises. A week goes by so quickly now though - and that also reminds me!
Incredibly excellent song. Just turned 61, it seems like just yesterday, that me, my 3 brothers and the neighborhood kids were jumping our Schwinn Stingrays over homemade wooden ramps. Today, I'm retired, aching from a lifetime of numerous athletic, hard work and also some dumb injuries. Lately, I find myself often wondering this exact thing. Very well done, thank you!
I just turned 61 also in October. The ole body pains have kicked in. I realized last year that my 50's are now gone too. Where'd my life go ? What ? I'm not 32 anymore ?
Nope. I'm not.
Well...I Raised 2 kids. Raised 1 grandchild. She grew up and left recently then poof I suddenly 😮got older. ❤😢 Just woke up one day after she left and I was not young anymore.
What a shock ! Overnight !!!
Now I'm Working through it... With God helps me.
Glad I have him by my side. 😊
We all need to truly enjoy every moment of everyday we are breathing because it goes by fast.
Then on to our next life.
For me I've chosen God and Heaven as my destiny.
Hope you and everyone truly really lives the rest of their lives daily instead of letting it slip silently away. Too fast.
Great song ....keep singing.
I'm 51 years old. I remember the day I graduated high school it was 1989 I joined the United States Marine corps. Mos was 2336. Me and my guys just knew we were the toughest son of a b****** in the world. Two tours in Iraq one in Afghanistan. And then my life changed February 14th 2006. An IED and two bullets had my name on them. I survived... Two of my buddies didn't. Let me tell you this wheelchair makes me feel old. The pain....😣😑😐 Yea I'm grateful to be alive....but the truth is sometimes I'm not. But through all that hell, I saw my son born, I saw my daughter born. They keep me loving life. Oh and this old dog named Odin. 😊
Till Valhalla

Thank you for your service sir 😎❤️
World is becoming unrecognizable. My Aunt Mary said life in her 90s was lonely. Her sisters and friends were gone and no one shared her memories of the good times. Died at 97.
I absolutely love this song! It resonates with me so much! God bless everybody getting old!
Wow! About time somebody said this! I'm 75yrs old and I still listen to the old, good Music like it was yesterday. We were true, we stood for peace & love. We wanted to Bless you all. Thank you JoedBold for seeing us!
