Artist:Corey Smith

When I was only seventeen, couldn’t wait for twenty one
I’d hang around on Clayton Street in the bars there gettin’ drunk
A baseball cap and a fake ID would get me in the clubs
Then I would dance with the college girls and lie about who I was
I’d say “I’m pre-Med. here at UGA, live on Milledge Avenue.
I was raised over in Buckhead, I drive a BMW.”

I was breakin’ hearts and takin’ names and numbers just for fun.
Stealin’ kisses wishin’ I was twenty one.

When Thursdays came and pocket change would quickly disappear
Upstairs at Lowry’s Tavern, we’d pay a nickel for the beer
Shootin’ pool, smokin’ cigarettes with a dizzy head and a grin
Four A.M. on a school night, still hangin’ out with my friends
One hour’s sleep on a dirty couch, no shower, off to school
Smellin’ just like a brewery with a bad hangover too

The teachers all would hassle me: “Stay awake, pay attention”
I was catchin’ hell, wishin’ I was twenty one.

The youngest one of all my friends, I didn’t act my age
Too cool for the football games and the homecoming parades

Now I look back and I have to smile, cause boy it was fun
Bein’ seventeen, wishin’ I was twenty one

Now I’m only twenty six, feelin’ more like fourty three
My hairline’s disappearing, and I never get ID’d
My clothes are out of fashion, no I’m not cool anymore
In the bed by ten o’clock each night, and up at half-past four
Still I go down to that college town when the Bulldogs play at home
I drink keg beer from a trash can til the whole damn thing is gone

Then I look at all those college girls so innocent and young
And I just check ‘em out, and say “Damn… I wish I was twenty one”

corey smith singing my favorite song, something to lose at the cannery ballroom in nashville tennessee. (i got mad at this guy behind me who kept trying to talk crap to everyone around me and so i finally just went off on him, so sorry about that)
