Don't Wish Your Life Away

Twenty-one always seemed to be the age I waited for my whole life But now that it's here I can't help but be wondering, why My Dad's growing old, my Mama she's getting there too My sister's got a house, a wife she's gonna be soon Don't wish your life away Those dreams that you chase will come someday Leave the future behind Just hang on for the ride And feel the smile on your face Just don't wish your life away I see children fill the houses of my friends Vacant memories of nights we spent all in our heads Thinking of all the things we'd do when we get out of this town Little did I know that I won't get another chance with them around Don't wish your life away Those dreams that you chase will come someday Leave the future behind Just hang on for the ride And feel the smile on your face Just don't wish your life away Now the door's slammed tight On the side of my life Where my childhood fades from view And I'm all strung up, 'cause I'm out on my own I wanted this all too soon What can I do Don't wish your life away Those dreams that you chase will come someday Leave the future behind Just hang on for the ride And feel the smile on your face Just don't wish your life away
