Brandi Carlile - Keep Your Heart Young lyrics
[Brandi Carlile - Keep Your Heart Young lyrics]
My grandpa gave me a wheat penny and
I kept it in my pocket
I had big plans in my backyard
To build me a space rocket
I talked to my brother on a fake CB
That I made from a tic tac box
I packed my snowballs nice and
Tight and in the middle, i put rocks
Don't trade in your tic tac box for a
Ball on the end of a chain
And don't go spending Grandpa's pennies
Buying into the game
You gotta keep your heart young
Don't go growin' old before
Your time has come
You can't take back what you have done
You gotta keep your heart young
Dad took the wheels off of my bike
And he pushed me down a hill
But speed got the best of me
And I took my first spill
That was back when alcohol was
Only used on cuts stung like hell
So I jerked my leg and Mama
Said it would give me guts
Don't trade in your tic tac box for a
Ball on the end of the chain
And don't go spending Grandpa's pennies
Buying into the game
You gotta keep your heart young
Don't go growing old before
Your time has come
You can't take back what you have done
You gotta keep your heart young
So take a picture of the one you
Love and put it in a locket
Go dig up your time capsule and
The blueprints for your rocket
Keep in touch on a fake CB and
That same old tic tac box
Pack your snowballs a little less
Tight, but in the middle, still put rocks
And keep your heart young
Don't go growing old before
Your time has come
You can't take back what you have done
You gotta keep your heart young
You gotta keep your heart young
Sometimes you don't die quick just
Like you wished you'd done
Though love is a loaded gun
You've gotta keep your heart young
You can't take back what you have done
You gotta keep your heart young
I kept it in my pocket
I had big plans in my backyard
To build me a space rocket
I talked to my brother on a fake CB
That I made from a tic tac box
I packed my snowballs nice and
Tight and in the middle, i put rocks
Don't trade in your tic tac box for a
Ball on the end of a chain
And don't go spending Grandpa's pennies
Buying into the game
You gotta keep your heart young
Don't go growin' old before
Your time has come
You can't take back what you have done
You gotta keep your heart young
Dad took the wheels off of my bike
And he pushed me down a hill
But speed got the best of me
And I took my first spill
That was back when alcohol was
Only used on cuts stung like hell
So I jerked my leg and Mama
Said it would give me guts
Don't trade in your tic tac box for a
Ball on the end of the chain
And don't go spending Grandpa's pennies
Buying into the game
You gotta keep your heart young
Don't go growing old before
Your time has come
You can't take back what you have done
You gotta keep your heart young
So take a picture of the one you
Love and put it in a locket
Go dig up your time capsule and
The blueprints for your rocket
Keep in touch on a fake CB and
That same old tic tac box
Pack your snowballs a little less
Tight, but in the middle, still put rocks
And keep your heart young
Don't go growing old before
Your time has come
You can't take back what you have done
You gotta keep your heart young
You gotta keep your heart young
Sometimes you don't die quick just
Like you wished you'd done
Though love is a loaded gun
You've gotta keep your heart young
You can't take back what you have done
You gotta keep your heart young
