Going on Eighteen - Dusty Drake

Mama preached to me

Boy be a kid just as long as you can

But I was hell bent and bound

And determined to be my old man

I was ready to drive

And I wanted a job

Hungry to chase down my dreams

Way back when I was twelve

Years old

Going on eighteen

Those four years of college

I stretched into six and a half

If I woke up in time after

Parties you'd catch me in class

But I moved back home

Stayed out slept in

'Til one monday morning

I heard daddy scream

You're twenty four years

Old boy

Steel going on eighteen

Hey all I'm dying to do is live

Just tryin' to take what the day has to give

Everyone wants but they don't

Always get what's expected of me

They say act your age don't break no mold

Be young when you're young

And old when you're old

They say I'm in the prime of

My life hell if I know what that means

In the back of my mind I'm

Still going on eighteen

Got the wife got the kids got

The job got the cars and the house

In life's little rulebook

It falls under all settled down

But give a handful of friends

A handful drinks

It's like riding in a time machine

Abunch of thirty something year

Old guys

Going on eighteen

Hey all I'm dying to do is live

Just tryin' to take what the day has to give

Hey everyone wants but they

Don't always get what's expected of me

They say act your age don't break no mold

Be young when you're young

And old when you're old

They say I'm in the prime of my life

Hell if I know what that means

In the back of my mind

I'm

Still going on eighteen

Now I preach to my boy be

A kid just as long as you can

But he's hell bent down and determined

To be his old man
