Reckless (Still Growin’ Up)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 didn't have the grades But I had myself a major league fastball Got a call from the minor leagues in Wichita And blew out my arm the first year, haha yeah [Verse 2] Well, I took a good look at my life And decided I'd make a change Booked me a flight on an airplane I was third world Peace Corps 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 [Chorus] Well, maybe I'm reckless, maybe bad luck Hell, maybe I'm way too much about having fun I'll send you a postcard, send me your love Just don't give up on me yet, I'm still growing up [Verse 3] I went to work for my uncle on the coast At a club called the Hot Spot 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 tattooed [Chorus] Well, maybe I'm reckless, maybe bad luck Hell maybe I'm way too much about having fun I'll send you a postcard, send me your love Just don't give up on me yet, I'm still growing up All right [Verse 4] I bought an old guitar With cash from a good hand of blackjack Learned a few chords from a fat-back 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 [Verse 5] And some so-called big-wig producer man Started sniffing around He told me he liked my sound But there was something holding me back He said a rhinestone suit and a cowboy hat outta do the trick I told him I had something he could stick, way on up his ass [Chorus] Well, maybe I'm reckless, maybe bad luck Hell maybe I'm way too much about having fun I'll send you a postcard, send me your love Just don't give up on me yet, I'm still growing up I'll send you a postcard, send me your love Just don't give up on me yet, I'm still growing up All right [Outro] But don't give up on me yet I know I might take a little time But I'm gonna come around I just feel like I've still got a few things I gotta get out of my system
