Verse 1 Picked up a pen and paper at 11 years old Wrote my first song right there On my bedroom floor Somewhere in the basement of my childhood home A six strings that wrapped around my soul And never let go
I was 15 when my best friend Told me that she had to go So we filled cardboard boxes Full of everything she owned Half of then to having drive since gotten to know I cried in the backseat the whole way home
Chorus I wish I had listened when they told me Girl, slow down Someday you'll be wishing For the things you have right now 18 is just a number Love and fast cars will come But you can't get back The moments that really count If we only get 100 trips around the sun Baby, take your time and walk instead of run
Verse 2 20 passed that boy had me falling fast and free Coming undone at his velvet touch I miss so much in the backseat It broke my heart breaking his When I left for Tennessee Cause he knew I'd never choose him Over chasing down my dreams
Chorus I wish I had listened when they told me Girl, slow down Someday you'll be wishing For the things you have right now 21 is just a number I know you could use a cold one But you can't get back The moments that really count If we only get 100 trips around the sun Baby, take your time and walk instead of run
Bridge Someday I'll be 80 Sitting in a rocking chair Telling my babies, Babies about why I have grey hair If they ask me what's one thing You wish you know at our age I'll look them in the eyes And say
Outro Promise me you'll listen When I tell you to slow down Cause someday you'll be wishing For the things you have right now Wish, is just a number But time flies faster than you think it does And you can't get back the moments That really count If we only get 100 trips around the sun Baby, take your time and walk instead of runTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
