It's true that I used to be crazy

And harder to love than most men

And the blood that ran in these tired hands

Was harder and wilder back then

And I don't feel as tall as I used to

Maybe it's just that I've grown

You're the one that held my hand when I fell

If I just couldn't make it alone

We've lived out all the stories

Sang all the old songs

It takes one to know me

I guess, you're the one

Your daughters a lady, she's a fortune

And your son an heir to the throne

And though this crown that I hold is tarnished and cold

It's a symbol of all that we own

Sometimes I wish I was younger

And could pick up the pieces and run

But then I look back on the matter of fact

And it's a race that we've already won

We've lived out all the stories

Sang all the old songs

It takes one to know me

I guess, you're the one

We've lived out all the stories

Sang all the old songs

It takes one to know me

And you knew the one
