Earned this Gray

I'm no spring chicken, I'm not 22
You got a problem with that
I got a problem with you
Chorus: I earned this gray
I earned this gray
Don't tell me I should wash it away
I earned this gray
I got my songs, I got my guitar
And I don't know who you think you are
Don't tell me I'm too old to play
You know, Mister, I earned this gray
Sure I got wrinkles, it's part of the deal
It's all me, and it's all real
Come over, take a look and see
I think they look good on me
I see you standin' there lookin' surprised
But you know, honey, you'd better get wise
'Cause if you're lucky, baby, someday
You'll be like me and say, “I earned this gray”
