reckless still growin up

Kip Moore

I spent a summer down south, working for the county,
trying to save for school
I blew it all like a damn fool on women and beer
I didn t have the grades but I had myself a major league fastball
Got a call from the minor leagues in
Wichita and blew out my arm in the first year, ha-ha, yeah

Well, I took a good look at my life and decided
I d make a change
Booked me a flight on an airplane,
I was 3rd world Peace Corps bound
But I met me a stewardess right there in the airport bar
Before I knew it I was in her car and never turned around

Well, maybe I m reckless, maybe bad luck, hell maybe
I m way too much about having fun
I ll send you a postcard, send me your love,
just don t give up on me yet, I m still growing up

I went to work for my uncle on the coast called the hot spot
We took our breaks on the boat docks and
I got fired for smoking pot
With the beach right there
I guess surfing was the logical next move
But I got mouthy with the wrong dude
and got my damn jaw tattooed

Well, maybe I m reckless, maybe bad luck,
hell maybe I m way too much about having fun
I ll send you a postcard, send me your love,
just don t give up on me yet, I m still growing up

Alright
I bought an old guitar with cash from a good hand of blackjack
Learned a few chord from a fat-back, hairy man named Pete
I got a local gig on the weekends in some old honky-tonk
Singing 2 hours of nothing but Cash songs, and
I could always drink for free
And some so called big-wig, producer man started sniffing round
He told me he liked my sound but
there was something holding me back
He said a rhinestone suit and a cowboy hat outta do the trick
I told him I had something he could stick, way on up his ass

Well, maybe I m reckless, maybe bad luck, hell maybe
I m way too much about having fun
I ll send you a postcard, send me your love,
just don t give up on me yet, I m still growing up

I ll send you a post card, send me your love,
just don t give up on me yet, I m still growing up
Alright
But don t give up on me yet
I know I might take a little time
But I m gonna come around
I just feel Like I still got a few things
I gotta Get out of my system, ha ha
