Twenty One

I think, before I speak I turn the other cheek more than I used to I'm surprised I'm alive after All of the crazy things that I do I've still got that wild streak you love But I'm not the man I was But I think I like me better now Than when I was twenty one Back then, I ran with A reckless abandon in a Pontiac An' I'd smile with a misguided pride When they'd call me a maniac And I couldn't get gone fast enough God knows I was the Prodigal Son I took a match to every bridge Back then when I was twenty one Whoa, whoa, age does change us And it's a good thing that it does It pays the wages, man I can't believe how far I've come From when I was twenty-one Whoa, whoa, yeah To those broken hearts I left without regard I didn't know the consequences I apologize an' with a little time now I've come to my senses And now, I see the power and the promise In commitment to your love That's something I could never have done When I was twenty one Whoa, whoa, age does change us And it's a good thing that it does It pays the wages, man I can't believe how far I've come From when I was twenty one Whoa, whoa, whoa, when I was twenty one Whoa, when I was twenty one Mmm, hmm
