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 changin'
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 seven
I wish I had never
turned eleven
Wo oo oo wo oh
We moved into a
smaller house
How mama did it
Oh I don't know how
Never went to bed
without eatin'
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 wo oh
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
Oh wo oh
I wish I had never
turned eleven
