Lyrics to America In Your 20's
Two blonde girls in a tennis match
And the one who hits a winner
Gets an urn of ashes from her late mother
And a car loan she can't pay
From feeling cute with your gap teeth
Till the last drunk calls you a field goal with pink cheeks
And now you've lost any glitter that you once made
Is the party over?
Did tomorrow come too soon?
Is that what getting older is?
The more you know, the less you do
Nothing as serious or as funny
As America in your twenties
Twenty-six and an idiot
Eating microwave pizza for dinner, at least I've got
A white priest and a 2012 class ring
And though my heart is in Tennessee
Everyone from my town
Is either dead or they're married, wow
James says there they both mean the same thing
Is the party over?
Did tomorrow come too soon?
Is this what get older is?
You wake up in your father's shoes
It's gonna take your heart and your money
It's America in your...
It's America in your twenties
Trust a boy who says he knows you want it, and he'll be pull out conscious
Nothing more patriotic than that
Drive your Civic alone to a clinic, you and your morning sickness
They never taught this part in class
Nothing as serious or as funny
Everybody hates me, everybody loves me
It's kinda fucked to think that it's lucky
To be in America in your twenties
And the one who hits a winner
Gets an urn of ashes from her late mother
And a car loan she can't pay
From feeling cute with your gap teeth
Till the last drunk calls you a field goal with pink cheeks
And now you've lost any glitter that you once made
Is the party over?
Did tomorrow come too soon?
Is that what getting older is?
The more you know, the less you do
Nothing as serious or as funny
As America in your twenties
Twenty-six and an idiot
Eating microwave pizza for dinner, at least I've got
A white priest and a 2012 class ring
And though my heart is in Tennessee
Everyone from my town
Is either dead or they're married, wow
James says there they both mean the same thing
Is the party over?
Did tomorrow come too soon?
Is this what get older is?
You wake up in your father's shoes
It's gonna take your heart and your money
It's America in your...
It's America in your twenties
Trust a boy who says he knows you want it, and he'll be pull out conscious
Nothing more patriotic than that
Drive your Civic alone to a clinic, you and your morning sickness
They never taught this part in class
Nothing as serious or as funny
Everybody hates me, everybody loves me
It's kinda fucked to think that it's lucky
To be in America in your twenties
