4.Letter To Me
If I could write a letter to me
And send it back in time to myself at 17
First I'd prove it's me by saying look under your bed
There's a Skoal can and a Playboy no one else would know you hid
And then I'd say I know it's tough
When you break up after seven months
And yeah I know you really liked her and it just don't seem fair
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
She wasn't right for you
And still you feel like there's a knife sticking out of your
back
And you're wondering if you'll survive
You'll make it through this and you'll see
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth
Always stop completely don't just tap your breaks
And when you get a date with Bridgett make sure the tank is full
On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool
Each and every time you have a fight
Just assume you're wrong and dad is right
And you really should thank Mrs. Brinkman
She spent so much extra time
It's like she sees the diamond underneath
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
Tonight's the bonfire rally
But you're staying home instead because if you fail Algebra
Mom and dad will kill you dead
Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
You've got so much up ahead
You'll make new friends
You should see your kids and wife
And I'd end by saying have no fear
I guess I'll see you in the mirror
When you're a grown man
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
I wish you'd study Spanish
I wish you'd take a typing class
I wish you wouldn't worry, let it be
If I could write a letter to me
To me
And oh you got so much going for you going right
And oh you got so much going for you going right
You've got so much up ahead
If I could write a letter to me
If I could write a letter to me
And oh you got so much going for you going right
I guess I'll see you in the mirror
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth
