Don't drive your truck off Riverside Drive
Or think the Lord turns a blind eye
Don't pour your heart out on a page
Or try and laugh the pain away
Don't burn a bridge that you can't fix
Don't hold those aces up your sleeve
I know a thing or two, take it from me
You got the whole world in front of you
You can do anything that you wanna do
Ain't a damn thing, son, that you've gotta prove
You can be whatever you wanna be
Just don't grow up to be like me
Don't blink, 'cause you'll be 35
And cuss the years that just flew by
Don't try and change the unchanged past
'Cause I promise you won't get it back
No, you'll never get 'em back
You got the whole world in front of you
You can do anything that you wanna do
Ain't a damn thing, son, that you've gotta prove
You can be whatever you wanna be
Just don't grow up to be like me
I ain't saying don't live life like your old man
Just know that I learned the hard way so you don't have to
You got the whole world in front of you
You can do anything that you wanna do
Ain't a damn thing, son, that you've gotta prove
You can be whatever you wanna be
Just don't grow up to be like me
You can be whatever you want to be
