Mama says we grow up to fast
life is short you gotta make it last
Daddy says you lean on for a while
i'll brush tears from my baby child
when i was just a little girl
life was so care free
things were so much simpler
just new guitar and me
but now my teacher says my songs
are much to old for me
but latter there'll be lots of times for love straightened seas
(CHORUS)
but i want to get to where i'm going soon
and going fast
like a sail boat into strong wind that's flying up the mast
well i can't wait to get my first kiss
on my second date
and play guitar at the honkey - tonks
out on the inner state
i want the mall to know that i'm singing about me
bout how it felt when i was finally free
but now that i'm a little older
they say my heads in the clouds
always telling me to settle down for crying out loud
my grandma says the youth is waisted on the young
says you'll under stand when you're on the run
(CHORUS 2)
well i want to get to where i'm going soon
and going fast
like sail boat into strong wind that's flying up the mast
well i can't help but dream about the bluebird cafe
playing for all those good old boy and girls
that be OK
thay we are up on the stage just singing our retuned
i want to get there, i want to get there soon
well i want to get there soon
and going fast
like a sail boat into strong that's flying up the mast
well i can't help but dream of us in a shiny red core inn
and our first song on the radio relates to nothing yet
our friends and us with the top down just looking at the moon
you know i want to get there, i want to get there soon
Mama says we grow up to fast
life is short you gotta make it last
Daddy says you lean on for a while
i'll brush tears from my baby child
