Phil Vassar
"Twenty One"

I think before I speak
I turn the other cheek
More than I used to

I'm surprised I'm alive
After all the crazy things that I do

I've still got that wild streak you love
But I'm not the man I was
But I think I like me better now
Than when I was tewnty-one

Back then I ran in a reckless abandon
In a Pontiac
And I'd smile with a misgiuded pride
When they called me a maniac, heh

And I couldn't get gone fast enough
God knows I was the prodigal son
I took a match to every bridge back then
When I was twenty-one

Wow-oh-woe age does change us and
It's a good thing that it does
It pays the wages and
I can't believe how far I've come
From when I was twenty-one

Woe-oh-woe yeah

Those broken hearts I left without regard
I didn't know the consequences
I apologize in wisdom and in time
Now I've come to my senses

And now I see the power and promise
In commitment to your love
That's something I could never have done
When I was twenty-one

Wow-oh-woe age does change us and
It's a good thing that it does
It pays the wages and
I can't believe how far I've come
From when I was twenty-one

Woe-oh-woe-oh when I was twenty-one
Woe-oh-oh when I was twenty-one
