歌词
Six years old in the back of a car
Roy Book Binder, John Prine, learned about Big Star
Daddy's wailing, it's hailing on the FDR
Songs about Bennie on the West Side Highway
You love to please a crowd
Teacher said you whistle too much in your report card
I could've seen this comin', you wanna make it far
Oh yeah
Bong hits, bullshit, liquid courage, dropping out to hit the road
Alma Mater, see you later, that's a story you don't know
Lawn by the water, you're the only daughter and it's going alright
Scrubbing down tables, paid in paper
No end in sight
Your heart's been treated like an old Ford beater
With a busted taillight
I could've seen this coming
You move an inch, that's still a stride
Oh, young girl, it's a big world, your first time at life
You don't have to have it down now, just keep up the appetite
And your family is wondering, if you're still making sounds
Well I'll keep on singing, this here ol' song
You should sing along, yeah
I didn't have wait too long to know my path
Then you're out of the house and it's a swift kick in the ass
I often wonder if a great big thunder's gonna shake my world
Change direction, new inflections
Keep it cool like a city girl
I'm fairly certain the map in my head is small, I bet
I should've seen this coming
The best days haven't happened yet
Young girl, it's a big world, your first time at life
You don't have to have it down now, just keep up the appetite
And your family is wondering, if you're still making sounds
Well I'll keep on singing, this here ol' song
Driving out of town to write something new
New York's cold but holds the truth
I can't wait for what's to come
Life doesn't stop bein' fun at twenty-one
Young girl, it's a big world, your first time at life
I think you have it down now, I still have the appetite
And your family's not wondering if you're still making sounds
Cuz I keep on singing this here ol' song
I can't help singing, I'll feel it all
Can you sing along, yeah
