Lyrics 29 - Carly Pearce

29

Twenty-nine
That’s when you’re supposed to find yourself
Start drinkin' whiskey from a higher shelf
Stop callin' your mom for help
Twenty-nine
You start payin' mortgage instead of rent
Should be pickin' out a picket fence
Instead of wonderin' where it went and wonderin' why
But for me, twenty-nine
Is the year that I got married and divorced
I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse
From a Miss to a Mrs. then the other way around
The year I was gonna live it up
Now I’m never gonna live it down
Twenty-nine
By now, I thought I’d have it figured out
But I’ve never felt as lost as I do now
And everybody says, «You're only twenty-nine»
But I feel like I’m runnin' out of time
If youth is wasted on the young, have I wasted mine?
'Cause for me, twenty-nine
Is the year that I got married and divorced
I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse
From a Miss to a Mrs. then the other way around
The year I was gonna live it up
Now I’m never gonna live it down
Seems like everybody else is hangin' on to it
But I swear to God I barely made my way through it
Oh, twenty-nine
Is the year that I got married and divorced
Yeah, I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse
From a Miss to a Mrs. then the other way around
The year I was gonna live it up
Hey, let’s just call it what it was
Now I’m never gonna live it down
Mmm
