7 years old, everything was right
Table for four on a Friday night
Didn't see any signs of a dead end road
By the time I was 10
Everything was changing
Fell asleep every night praying
Didn't know which way to go
Mama did her best to hide her anger
And I did my best to try and save her
I was a little too young
And a little too dumb
To ever think the day would come
When dad would drive away
And take his love with him
So I grew up fast in a whole new world
Waved goodbye to that little girl
sponsored links
I can see her now
Innocent and seven
I wish I had never turned 11
Oh oh
We moved into a smaller house
How mama did it all
I don't know how
Never went to bed without heating
At 13 I finally realized
What it means to get on with your life
Daddy sure did and he made it look easy
Mama did her best to hide her struggle
And I did my best to stay out of trouble
I was a little too young
And a little too dumb
To ever think the day would come
When dad would drive away
And take his love with him
So I grew up fast in a whole new world
Waved goodbye to that little girl
I can see her now
Innocent and seven
I wish I had never turned 11
I wish that I could turn back time
Tell myself it'll be alright
You never gonna lose the light in your eyes
I was a little too young
And a little too dumb
To ever think the day would come
So I grew up fast in a whole new world
Waved goodbye to that little girl
I can see her now
Innocent and seven
I wish I had never turned 11
I wish I had never turned 11
I wish I had never turned 11
