Well, I
almost come from Leland,
Mississippi
But my mama 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 living with a suitcase in my hand
I'm not a kid anymore
Now that I know the score
I should have seen it before
I'm not a kid anymore
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Yes, I played about every club in Texas.
Had the ones from there to New Orleans.
I love to see the people
having a good time,
but sometimes I wonder what it means.
Now I keep trying to save up some money
But there'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
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
You know I'm not a kid anymore
I've got to keep on looking
toward the fu ture
Never let the past get in the way
An d if I had my life to live forever
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
An d now that I know the score
I should have seen it before
I'm not a kid anymore
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, I'm not a kid anymore
Kid, kid, kid, kid, kid, kid, kid
I'm not a kid anymore
I've gone through some head changes
But I believe, I believe
Everything's gonna be alright
And I feel so good
even though I'm not a kid anymore
I should have seen it before
I feel so good
even though I'm not a kid anymore
