[Verse 1]
Seven years old, everything was right
Table for four on a Friday night
Didn't see any signs of a dead end road
By the time I was ten, everything was changing
Fell asleep every night prayin'
Didn't know which way to go
Mama did her best to hide her anger
And I did my best to try and save her

[Chorus]
I was a little too young and a little too dumb
To ever think the day would come
When dad would drive away and take his love with him
So I grew up fast in a whole new world
Waved goodbye to that little girl
I can see her now – innocent and seven
I wish I had never turned 11
Whoa, oh

[Verse 2]
We moved into a smaller house
How mama did it, oh, I don’t know how
Never went to bed without eating
At thirteen, I finally realized
What it means to get on with your life
But daddy sure did, and he made it look easy
Mama did her best to hide the struggle
And I did my best to stay out of trouble

[Chorus]
I was a little too young and a little too dumb
To ever think the day would come
When dad would drive away and take his love with him
So I grew up fast in a whole new world
Waved goodbye to that little girl
I can see her now – innocent and seven
I wish I had never turned 11

[Bridge]
I wish that I could turn back time
And tell myself it’ll be alright
You’re never gonna lose the light in your eyes

[Chorus]
I was a little too young and a little too dumb
To ever think the day would come
So I grew up fast in a whole new world
Waved goodbye to that little girl
I can see her now – innocent and seven
I wish I had never turned 11
I wish I had never turned 11
[Outro]
Ooh, whoa
I wish I had never turned 11
