Take off your jacket, stay a while
Eldest child, you make them smile
Pay the price, it goes a mile
Give me one more chance to smile
Eldest child, eldest child
You gotta walk a long road
I know you tired
Eldest child, eldest child
I know your mama and your daddy so goddamn proud of you
They don't know me, no They don't know me, no
They don't know nothing about me They don't know me,
no
They don't know me, no They don't know me, no
They don't know nothing about me They don't know me,
no
Pretty girls in cars,
gotta suck on my cheeks and
Shimmer in my eyes, I can see what I wanna be
Pretty girls,
no hearts,
we can't be what we wanna be
Many dreams,
many stars,
many broken promises,
not a keeper
Tryin' to keep up,
tryin' to keep up Tryin' not to keep up
It's hard tryin' to keep it up,
it's hard tryin' to keep it up
Tryin' not to keep up
Take off your jacket,
stay a while Eldest child,
you make them smile
Gotta pay that price,
it goes a mile Give me one more chance to smile
Eldest child,
eldest child I know you walk a long road
I know you tired Eldest child, eldest child
I know you make your mama and daddy so goddamn proud of us
They don't know me,
no They don't know me, no
They don't know nothing about me They don't know me,
no
