Another Year Older

I remember sneaking into my mama's room

Sunday morning when she was still asleep

Putting on makeup, trying those heels on, wearing her perfume

Yeah, grown up's all I wanted to be

And twenty-one couldn't come fast enough

When I was eighteen with an out-of-state fake ID

But it wore off faster than a cigarette buzz

I can't buy a drink so what

It ain't as cool as it's made out to be

I don't count the candles now the way I used to do

I just smile until their song is over

I close my eyes and make a wish I know ain't coming true

'Cause you can't make time move any slower

When I was young I never dreamed

The last thing I'd wanna be is another year older

When you ain't tall enough to ride the ride

And you're too damn young to drive your daddy's truck

You push the days to fly on by

Now they do it, right now

I'd give anything to not be old enough

I don't count the candles now the way I used to do

I just smile until their song is over

I close my eyes and make a wish I know ain't coming true

'Cause you can't make time move any slower

When I was young I never dreamed

The last thing I'd wanna be is another year older

Oh, oh, oh

Now my baby girl can't wait

To blow 'em out and cut that cake

I look at her, God, I miss those days

I don't count the candles now the way I used to do

I just smile until their song is over

I close my eyes and make a wish I know ain't coming true

'Cause you can't make time move any slower

When I was young I never dreamed

The last thing I'd wanna be is another year older

Ooh, another year older
