At 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
I can see her now ? innocent and 7

I wish I had never turned 11

We moved into a smaller house

How mama did it, oh I don't know how
Never went to bed without eating


At 13 I finally realized
What it means to get on with your life
But daddy sure did and he made it look easy


Mama did her best to hide the 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 7
I wish I had never turned 11


I wish that I could turn back time
And tell myself it'll be alright

You're 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 7
I wish I had never turned 11

I wish I had never turned 11

I wish I had never turned 11
