Reckless (Still Growin' Up) - Kip Moore

I spent a summer down south

Working for the county, trying to save for school

I blew it all like a damn fool on women and beer

I didn’t have the grades

But I had myself a major league fastball

Got a call from the minor leagues in Wichita

And blew out my arm the first year, haha yeah

Well, I took a good look at my life

And decided I’d make a change

Booked me a flight on an airplane

I was third world Peace Corps bound

But I met me a stewardess waiting right there

In the airport bar, before I knew it I was in her car

And never turned around

Well, maybe I’m reckless, maybe bad luck

Hell, maybe I’m way too much about having fun

I’ll send you a postcard, send me your love

Just don’t give up on me yet, I’m still growing up

I went to work for my uncle on the coast

At a club called the Hot Spot

We took our breaks on the boat docks

And I got fired for smoking pot

With the beach right there

I guess surfing was the logical next move

But I got mouthy with the wrong dude

And got my damn jaw tattooed

Well, maybe I’m reckless, maybe bad luck

Hell maybe I’m way too much about having fun

I’ll send you a postcard, send me your love

Just don’t give up on me yet, I’m still growing up

All right

I bought an old guitar

With cash from a good hand of blackjack

Learned a few chords from a fat-back

Hairy man named Pete

I got a local gig on the weekends

In some old honky-tonk

Singing two hours of nothing but Cash songs

And I could always drink for free

And some so-called big-wig producer man

Started sniffing around

He told me he liked my sound

But there was something holding me back

He said a rhinestone suit and a cowboy hat outta do the trick

I told him I had something he could stick, way on up his ass

Well, maybe I’m reckless, maybe bad luck

Hell maybe I’m way too much about having fun

I’ll send you a postcard, send me your love

Just don’t give up on me yet, I’m still growing up

I’ll send you a postcard, send me your love

Just don’t give up on me yet, I’m still growing up

All right

But don’t give up on me yet

I know I might take a little time

But I’m gonna come around

I just feel like I’ve still got a few things

I gotta get out of my system
