Practice Swing

It’s easy to play pretend
When you’re a wanna be know it all rebel kid
Drivin' a second hand pickup truck
That you bought wrecked
Friday night football lights
Saturday night keg party dreams
She took a little piece of you when she gave back your class ring
It wasn’t the real thing
Just a practice swing
Life was just a new song blarin' on the radio
Fake IDs that worked at the MAPCO
Wasn’t real money, borrowed time
A First base first love, up all night
Bendin' the rules playin' the game
White lies, innocence fade away
Everything about 17, is just a practice swing
Over night it all changed
All the faces and all the names
Everybody started keepin' score
In a rat race, for a little more
In my head I’m still that kid
The fight in this dog ain’t got no quit
Man I’d love to do it all again
Like I did, way back when
Life was just a new song blarin' on the radio
Fake IDs that worked at the MAPCO
Wasn’t real money, borrowed time
A First base first love, up all night
Bendin' the rules playin' the game
White lies, innocence fade away
Everything about 17, is just a practice swing
Yeah, life was just a new song blarin' on the radio
Fake IDs that worked at the MAPCO
Wasn’t real money, borrowed time
A First base first love, up all night
Bendin' the rules playin' the game
White lies, innocence fade away
Everything about 17, is just a practice swing
Life was just a new song blarin' on the radio
It’s just a practice swing
Fake IDs that worked at the MAPCO
Yeah just a practice swing
Wasn’t real money, borrowed time
A First base first love, up all night
Everything about 17
Practice swing
