Verse 1
Picked up a pen and paper at 11 years old
Wrote my first song right there
On my bedroom floor
Somewhere in the basement of my childhood home
A six strings that wrapped around my soul
And never let go
I was 15 when my best friend
Told me that she had to go
So we filled cardboard boxes
Full of everything she owned
Half of then to having drive since gotten to know
I cried in the backseat the whole way home
Chorus
I wish I had listened when they told me
Girl, slow down
Someday you’ll be wishing
For the things you have right now
18 is just a number
Love and fast cars will come
But you can’t get back
The moments that really count
If we only get 100 trips around the sun
Baby, take your time and walk instead of run
Verse 2
20 passed that boy had me falling fast and free
Coming undone at his velvet touch
I miss so much in the backseat
It broke my heart breaking his
When I left for Tennessee
Cause he knew I’d never choose him
Over chasing down my dreams
Chorus
I wish I had listened when they told me
Girl, slow down
Someday you’ll be wishing
For the things you have right now
21 is just a number
I know you could use a cold one
But you can’t get back
The moments that really count
If we only get 100 trips around the sun
Baby, take your time and walk instead of run
Bridge
Someday I’ll be 80
Sitting in a rocking chair
Telling my babies,
Babies about why I have grey hair
If they ask me what’s one thing
You wish you know at our age
I’ll look them in the eyes
And say
Outro
Promise me you’ll listen
When I tell you to slow down
Cause someday you’ll be wishing
For the things you have right now
Wish, is just a number
But time flies faster than you think it does
And you can’t get back the moments
That really count
If we only get 100 trips around the sun
Baby, take your time and walk instead of run
