im not gonna cry, no. not one sad or happy tear, i've waited my whole life now im gonna fly right outa here. friday night, football games, first loves and first heartbreaks. it didnt matter who won or lost only how we played. sure we made a little trouble but learned from every mistake, so there's no regret. makin plans to raise some hell, celebrating out senior year. we had a trash bag full of clothes and a suite case full or beers. if i could do it again, you know i'd do it the same. oh i'd break all the rules, just like i used to do. i'd get sunburned on a new tattoo, lose my favorite jeans and my tennis shoes, get kicked out of our hotel room and sleep in the truck for a night of two. blow all my money have to call my dad and work two months just to pay him back. take bong hits and laugh like hell, flick the police off and get hauled to jail. if i could do it again i'd do it the same, not one regret i wouldnt change a thing. no one's been riding with me for a long time so im being careful trying to watch my speed. but its getting hard to keep my eyes on the highway knowing your over in the passanger seat. my heart be still, im having trouble breathing. wondering if you feel the same way that im feeling. Do you remember the way you looked at me back then, Two hungry eyes wrapped up in a smile so innocent And she says "I wish I was anyone but me" Yeah she'd pack her life in a heartbeat for a little change of scenery
Oh I'd never felt that way before, and I never have again. I’m leaving this place without a minute to waste no looking over my shoulder, It’s over. But I’m busted loose I’m on the run and I’m screamin at the top of my lungs "Thank God I’m free at last" Now I look back and I have to smile, cause boy it was fun bein' seventeen, wishin' I was twenty one I act like I did back when I was a kid but it hurts more than it did back then. I go out on the town and make a fool of myself. I run around with the same rowdy friends. I get drunk and obnoxious and wake up the next day swearing I'm never drinking again. Yeah, I'm a big ole kid, but I ain't ashamed because when the time comes around, I know I can change. But you can, be the change you wanna see. be the hope to those whose lives are far from easy. reach out and lend a hand, share everything you can. Carry the world on your shoulders, for a little while, Put on someone else shoes, and walk around.
So many cups a runneth over, while so many goin dry The grass ain’t always green on the other side. There’s still a lot of work to be done, A lot of wrongs to right, a lot of battles to be won.
