Seven years old, everything was right

A table for four on a Friday night

Didn't see any signs of a dead end road

By the time I was ten everything was changing

Fell asleep every night praying

Didn't know which way to go

Momma did her best to hide her anger

And I did my best to try and save her

I was a little too young and a little too dumb to ever think the day would come

When dad would drive away and take his love with him

So I grew up fast in a whole new world

Waved goodbye to that little girl

I can see her now, innocent and seven

I wish I had never turned eleven

We moved into a smaller house

How mama did it, oh I don't know how

Never went to bed without eating

At thirteen I finally realized what it means to get on with your life

Well daddy sure did and he made it look easy

Mama did her best to hide the struggle

And I did my best to stay out of trouble

I was a little too young and a little too dumb to ever think the day would come

When dad would drive away and take his love with him

So I grew up fast in a whole new world

Waved goodbye to that little girl

I can see her now, innocent and seven

I wish I had never turned eleven

I wish that I could turn back time and tell myself it'll be alright, you're never gonna lose the light in your eyes.

I wish I had never turned eleven.
