Reckless (Still Growin' Up)

i spent a summer down south
working for the county trying to save for school
i blew it all like a damn fool
on women and beer
i didnt have the grades but i had myself a major league fast-ball
got a call from the minor leagues in Wichita
and blew out my arm the first year
haha yeah
well i took a good look at my life and decided id make a change
booked me a flight on an airplane
i was third world peace corp bound
but i met me a stewardess waiting right there in the airport bar
before i knew it i was in her car and never turned around
well maybe im reckless
maybe bad luck
hell maybe im way to much about having fun
ill send you a postcard you send me your love
just dont give up on me yet im still growin up
i went to go work for my uncle on the coast
at a club called the hotspot
we took our breaks on the boat docks
and i got fired for smoking pot
with the beach right there i guess surfing was the logical next move
but i got mouthy with the wrong dude
and got my damn jaw tattoo'd
well maybe im reckless
maybe bad luck
hell maybe im way to much about having fun
ill send you a postcard you send me your love
just dont give up on me yet im still growin up
alright
i bought an old guitar with cash from a good hand of black-jack
learned a few cords from a fat back
a hairy man named pete
i got a local gig on the weekends in some old honky tonk
singing two hours of nothing but Cash songs
and i could always drink for free
some so called big wig producer man started sniffing round
he told me he liked my sound
but there was something holding me back
he said a rhinestone hat and some cowboy boots ought'a do the trick
i told him he had something he could stick way on up his ass
well maybe im reckless
maybe bad luck
hell maybe im way to much about having fun
ill send you a postcard you send me your love
just dont give up on me yet im still growin up
ill send you a postcard you send me your love
just dont give up on me yet im still growin up
alright
dont give up on me yet
i know it might take a little time
but im gonna come around
i just feel there are still a few things i need to get out of my system
