lyrics

My boots are scuffed up
My jeans are worn through
Scratched up, torn by time
My beard's wiry and grey
Top buttons long gone
You could say I've seen better days

When you look at me
I've got a few years on you
But why not the chance
I might know what to do
Like a vintage red wine
Getting better with time
Like a classic
That’s been hand made
An old silver coin
Been waiting for you
Like this old stone town
Woken up, shaken down

Brought back from faded glory
Back from faded glory
Brought back from faded glory
Back from faded glory

My past is long gone
Crow’s feet nothing new
Skeletons dust and bones
Demons don't haunt me
My dues have been paid
You could say that I’ve come of age

When you look at me
I've got a few years on you
But why not the chance
I might know what to do
A battered Swiss watch
Gains value with time
A classic
Been made to last
Like your old blue jeans
I’m a good fit for you
Like this old stone town
Spruced up, dusted down

Brought back from faded glory
Back from faded glory
Brought back from faded glory
Back from faded glory
