Lyric Twenty One


When I was only seventeen, couldn t wait for twenty one
I d hang around on Clayton Street in the bars there gettin drunk
A baseball cap and a fake ID would get me in the clubs
Then I would dance with the college girls and lie about who I was
I d say "I m pre-Med. here at UGA, live on Milledge Avenue.
I was raised over in Buckhead, I drive a BMW."

I was breakin hearts and takin names and numbers just for fun.
Stealin kisses wishin I was twenty one.

When Thursdays came and pocket change would quickly disappear
Upstairs at Lowry s Tavern, we d pay a nickel for every beer
Shootin pool, smokin cigarettes with a dizzy head and a grin
Four A.M. on a school night, still hangin out with my friends
One hour s sleep on a dirty couch, no shower, off to school
Smellin just like a brewery with a bad hangover too

The teachers all would hassle me: "Stay awake, pay attention"
I was catchin hell, wishin I was twenty one.

The youngest one of all my friends, I didn t act my age
Too cool for the football games and the homecoming parades

Now I look back and I have to smile, cause boy it was fun
Bein seventeen, wishin I was twenty one

Now I m only twenty six, feelin more like fourty three
My hairline s disappearing, and I never get ID d
My clothes are out of fashion, no I m not cool anymore
In the bed by ten o clock each night, and up at half-past four
Still I go down to that college down when the Bulldogs play at home
I drink keg beer from a trash can til the whole damn thing is gone

Then I look at all those college girls so innocent and young
And I just check em out, and say "Damn... I wish I was twenty one"
