Young and Angry Again - Lori McKenna

Sittin' on the roof to get closer to tomorrow

Didn’t know enough to be scared

All you’d have to talk about is where you’re gonna go

And what it’s gonna be like out there

Out there

You carryin' around half of what God gave you

And half of what they told you you should be

Tryin' to make sense of why anyone stays around here

When you’re just countin' days until you leave

Lightin' cigarettes just to hold 'em

Up in the air, singin' Never Get Old

Throwin' bottles at a highschool chainlink fence

Tellin' yourself all you’ll ever need

Is a heart full of fire and gasoline

I could use a little who-I-was and that way-back-when

To be young and angry again

You hated broken hearts but you loved the songs about 'em

'Cause someone finally felt the way you did

There’s dreams that are in the dirt roads, under bleachers in the shadows

But tonight, I swear to God I won’t forget

Lightin' cigarettes just to hold 'em

Up in the air, singin' Never Get Old

Throwin' bottles at a highschool chainlink fence

Tellin' yourself all you’ll ever need

Is a heart full of fire and gasoline

I could use a little who-I-was and that way-back-when

To be young and angry again

Before the world set in and we punched that clock

Before we knocked those hell-bent edges off

Lightin' cigarettes just to hold 'em

Up in the air, singin' Never Get Old

Throwin' bottles at a highschool chainlink fence

Tellin' yourself all you’ll ever need

Is a heart full of fire and gasoline

I could use a little who-I-was and that way-back-when

To be young and angry again

To be young and angry again
