| At 7 years old everything was right
|
| Table for four on a Friday night
|
| Didn’t see any signs of a dead end road
|
| By the time I was 10 everything was changing
|
| Fell asleep every night prayin
|
| Didn’t know which way to go
|
| Mama did her best to hide her anger
|
| And I did my best to try and save her
|
| I was a little too young and a little too dumb
|
| To ever think the day would come
|
| When dad would drive away
|
| And take his love with him
|
| So I grew up fast in a whole new world
|
| Waved goodbye to that little girl
|
| I can see her now — innocent and 7
|
| I wish I had never turned 11
|
| We moved into a smaller house
|
| How mama did it oh I don’t know how
|
| Never went to bed without eating
|
| At 13 I finally realized
|
| What it means to get on with your life
|
| But daddy sure did and he made it look easy
|
| Mama did her best to hide the struggle
|
| And I did my best to stay out of trouble
|
| I was a little too young and a little too dumb
|
| To ever think the day would come
|
| When dad would drive away
|
| And take his love with him
|
| So I grew up fast in a whole new world
|
| Waved goodbye to that little girl
|
| I can see her now — innocent and 7
|
| I wish I had never turned 11
|
| I wish that I could turn back time
|
| And tell myself it’ll be alright
|
| You’re never gonna lose a lot in your eyes
|
| I was a little too young and a little too dumb
|
| To ever think the day would come…
|
| So I grew up fast in a whole new world
|
| Waved goodbye to that little girl
|
| I can see her now — innocent and 7
|
| I wish I had never turned 11
|
| I wish I had never turned 11
|
| I wish I had never turned ELEVEN |
