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.
