Moore, Kip - Reckless (Still Growin' Up) Lyrics






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 in the first year, ha-ha, 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 3rd world Peace Corps bound
But I met me a stewardess 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 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

Alright
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 2 hours of nothing but Cash songs, and I could always drink for free
And some so called big-wig, producer man started sniffing 'round
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 post card, send me your love, just don't give up on me yet, I'm still growing up
Alright
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 still got a few things I gotta Get out of my system, ha ha

  33. S.... ....

    I like your thinkin'

  34. b.... ....

    that live version is pretty cool! more upbeat

  35. T.... D....

    pffft bullshit, you have obviously never been to southern Kentucky son, doesn't get much more country than that, never been to a place with more weed (or better) than there. Tennessee too, and Georgia, Alabama, come to think of it you're just plain wrong, and I'm sure Willie Nelson would agree with me.

  36. E.... ....

    Haha yeah right the best pot is grown by southern farmers. You must be from a southern city and think you know country.

    E.... ....

    EricNyeMan you're smoked.

  37. G.... B....

    yee haw!!!

  38. K.... H....

    Pot isn't a drug. It's a plant. Chillax bro.

  39. C.... T....

    They also probably know how to spell properly

  40. E.... M....

    Hell Yea!!

  41. F.... A....

    do you listen to Eric Church? Awesome singer, awesome song writer, and I hear a pretty awesome guy, about as country as you can find em! What does he do/did? He smokes/smoked weed! There's nothing saying you can't be country and smoke weed

  42. R.... ....

    I think you missed the sarcasm

  43. F.... A....

    yea, we all make mistakes

  44. M.... ....

    It was a simple accident, English is my favorite subject. I love spelling and words and all that but sometimes my fingers type faster than my brain and I see it all the time; accident

  45. F.... A....

    I don't really care, it's just annoying how many people use 'now' instead of 'know'

  46. R.... ....

    People from the country aren't immune from drug users. You're ignorant if you truly believe that. Or maybe you're right. I'm sure Waylon, Willie and Hank (all three Hanks actually) never touched a single drug in their life ;)

  47. e.... b....

    Phil's song! :P

  48. M.... ....

    Yes, Sir. I do apologize for my hideous use of spelling and grammar. Please, could you find it in your heart to forgive an illiterate soul like myself? I do hope so, but I don't care either way.

  49. F.... A....

    Most country folk KNOW how to use proper grammar as well. Or at least sometimes

  50. M.... ....

    No offense to all on here but truthfully, smoking weed isn't country. Country folk now better than that

    M.... ....

    What about Willie Nelson you fool

    M.... ....

    Hello....Have you not heard of Hank JR. ?

  51. M.... L....

    my god eh it's three days I try to listen to this song and I can't because my internet connection is just so bad. now that I finally got to listen to I just love it! ah, that's just great, new good music for me to listen to :))

  52. C.... D....

    i love this song and allot of others by him but i think the acoustic versions sound allot better i really do

    C.... D....

    That's the same thing I thought!! His acoustic versions are WAY better than the album version.. or if he songs live.. That's pretty close to the acoustic version too! I think it's bc he has pure, raw talent and when you mix that in a studio and add shit and change shit, it takes away from the actual talent that he has!! Or at least that's the way I feel.. lol

  53. E.... J....

    hell we all smoke pot nowadays.

    E.... J....

    Evan Jones not all of us

  54. b.... ....

    sorry to hear that my prayers go out to you...but pot aint heroin my friend

  55. k.... ....

    He said pot not heroin or meth, pot can't kill you.

    k.... ....

    kurtschats but it still can do a hell of a lot of damage to a person, so it is still bad😑😐😒

  56. C.... H....

    i thought the same thing xD

  57. R.... C....

    i liked this song til i her the drugs part, my best frend died from herowin... none of us even knew he did it, drugs are bad

  58. T.... ....

    shit i think im in the same boat.... naw im to sober
    (pstt-chk)

  59. R.... O....

    is the video slowly zooming in or am i just too drunk?

  60. d.... c....
