Well, I almost come from Leland Mississippi
But my momma wanted to be with her mom and dad
So I was born and raised down in Beaumont
Sometimes I miss home so bad
Now I've been out on the road since I was eighteen
Just livin' with a suitcase in my hand

[Chorus]
I'm not a kid anymore
Now that I know the score
I should have seen it before
I'm not a kid anymore

Now I must have played about every club in Texas
And half the ones from there to New Orleans
I love to see the people havin' a good time
Sometimes I wonder what it mеans
Now I keep trying to save up some money
But thеre's never enough to get me by

I'm not a kid anymore
Now that I know the score
I should have seen it before
I'm not a kid anymore

Gotta keep on looking toward the future
Never let the past get in the way
If I had my life to live all over
I would not change a single day
I'm not a kid anymore
Now that I know the score
I should have seen it before
I'm not a kid anymore

I'm not a kid anymore
And now that I know the score
I feel so good, even though
I'm not a kid anymore
