[Verse 1]
I remember sneaking into my momma's room
Sunday morning when she was still asleep
Putting on makeup, trying those heels on, wearing her perfume
Yeah, grown up’s all I wanted to be

[Verse 2]
And twenty-one couldn't come fast enough
When I was eighteen with an out-of-state fake ID
But it wore off faster than a cigarette buzz
I can't buy a drink so what
It ain’t as cool as it's made out to be

[Chorus]
I don't count the candles now the way I used to do
I just smile until their song is over
I close my eyes and make a wish I know ain't coming true
'Cause you can't makе time move any slower
Whеn I was young I never dreamed
The last thing I'd wanna be is another year older

[Verse 3]
When you ain't tall enough to ride the ride
And you’re too damn young to drive your daddy’s truck
You push the daisy [?]
Now they do it [?]
I'd give anything to not be old enough
[Chorus]
I don’t count the candles now the way I used to do
I just smile until their song is over
I close my eyes and make a wish I know ain't coming true
'Cause you can't make time move any slower
When I was young I never dreamed
The last thing I’d wanna be is another year older

[Bridge]
Now my baby girl can't wait
To blow 'em out and cut that cake
I look at her, God, I miss those days

[Chorus]
I don't count the candles now the way I used to do
I just smile until their song is over
I close my eyes and make a wish I know ain't coming true
'Cause you can't make time move any slower
When I was young I never dreamed
The last thing I'd wanna be is another year older
Ooh, another year older
