I won't push my chips forward and stand up and go out to meet him. It aint just bein' older. I wish that it was. I can't say that it's even what you are willin' to do. Because I always knew that you had to be willin to die to even do this job. That was always true. Not to sound glorious about it or nothin but you do. If you aint they'll know it.

I think now that maybe I never would.
