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
(Pre-Chorus) Mama did her best to hide her anger And I did my best to try and save her
(Chorus) 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
(Verse) 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
(Pre-Chorus) Mama did her best to hide the struggle And I did my best to stay out of trouble
(Chorus) 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
(Bridge) 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
(Chorus) 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
