Karaoké Letter to Me Brad Paisley

If I could write a letter to me

And send it back in time to myself at seventeen

First I'd prove it's me by saying look under your bed

There's a Skoal can and a Playboy

No one else would know you hid

Then I'd say I know it's tough

When you break up after seven months

Yeah I know you really liked her and it just don't seem fair

And all I can say is pain like that is fast and it's rare

And oh you got so much going for you going right

But I know at seventeen it's hard to see past friday night

She wasn't right for you still you feel like there's a knife

Sticking out of your back and you're wondering if you'll survive

You'll make it through this and you'll see

You're still around to write this letter to me

At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth

Always stop completely don't just tap your breaks

And when you get a date with Bridgett make sure the tank is full

On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool

Each and every time you have a fight

Just assume you're wrong and Dad is right

You should really thank Miss Brinkman she spent so much extra time

It's like she sees the diamond underneath

And she's polishin' you 'til you shine

And oh you got so much going for you going right

But I know at seventeen it's hard to see past friday night

Tonight's the bonfire rally but you're staying home instead

Because if you fail Algebra

Mom and Dad will kill you dead

Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C

And you're still around to write this letter to me

You've got so much up ahead and you'll make new friends

You should see your kids and wife

And I'd end by saying have no fear

These are nowhere near the best years of your life

I guess I'll see you in the mirror when you're a grown man

PS go hug Aunt Rita every chance you can

And oh you got so much going for you going right

But I know at seventeen it's hard to see past friday night

I wish you'd study Spanish

I wish you'd take a typing class

I wish you wouldn't worry let it be

Hey I'd say have a little faith and you'll see

If I could write a letter to me
