Lyrics 23 - Sam Hunt

23

You can marry an architect
Build you a house out on the water
That really impresses your father
And you can find some grown up friends
And drink some wine in California
But even if you cut it shorter
You’ll always have long blond hair
You’ll always be Memphis queen
You’ll always be my first time in New Orleans
No matter where I go, no matter what I do
I’ll never be 23 with anyone but you
You can marry who you want
Go back to Tennessee
But you’ll never be 23 with anyone but me
We’ll always have Folly beach
We’ll always have delta nights
We’ll always be in-between real love and real life
You can ride the train to work
Straighten out your accent in the city
Like your folks ain’t from Mississippi
You probably got an office view
Wearing those skirts you always hated
Yeah, you’re so sophisticated
But I bet you when you drink too much
I bet you’re thinking 'bout back when
I really hope you’re happy now
I’m really glad I knew you then
No matter where I go, no matter what I do
I’ll never be 23 with anyone but you
You can marry who you want
Go back to Tennessee
But you’ll never be 23 with anyone but me
We’ll always have Folly beach
We’ll always have delta nights
We’ll always be in-between real love and real life
You’ll always have your first last name
Standing in that July rain
Telling me your mind is changed
But in my mind you’re still the same
Long blond hair
You’ll always be Memphis queen
You’ll always be my first time in New Orleans
No matter where I go, no matter what I do
I’ll never be 23 with anyone but you
You can marry who you want
Go back to Tennessee
But you’ll never be 23 with anyone but me
