SEVEN YEARS OLD
EVERYTHING WAS RIGHT
A TABLE FOR FOUR
ON A FRIDAY NIGHT
DIDN'T SEE ANY SIGNS
OF A DEAD END ROAD
BY THE TIME I WAS TEN
EVERYTHING WAS CHANGING
FELL ASLEEP EVERY
NIGHT PRAYING
DIDN'T KNOW
WHICH WAY TO GO
MOMMA 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 SEVEN
I WISH I HAD NEVER
TURNED ELEVEN
WE MOVED INTO
A SMALLER HOUSE
HOW MAMA DID IT OH
I DON'T KNOW HOW
NEVER WENT TO
BED WITHOUT EATING
AT THIRTEEN I FINALLY
REALIZED WHAT
IT MEANS TO GET
ON WITH YOUR LIFE
WELL 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 SEVEN
I WISH I HAD NEVER
TURNED ELEVEN
I WISH THAT I
COULD TURN BACK
TIME AND
TELL MYSELF
IT'LL BE ALRIGHT
YOU'RE NEVER
GONNA LOSE THE
LIGHT 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 SEVEN
I WISH I HAD NEVER
TURNED ELEVEN
I WISH I HAD NEVER
TURNED ELEVEN
WISH I HAD NEVER
TURNED ELEVEN
