Years From Now

Years from now you’ll hear this song and probably laugh
You’ll have learned, and you’ll think you can do better
And lord knows you probably will
And lord knows I hope you will

Years from now someone will break your little heart
It’ll sting, but don’t let it callous over
The first cut stings the most
The first cut always stings the most

Years from now, when what they taught you all seems strange
Don’t despair, the stranger it gets the better
It’s the fear that can drag you down
Don’t let your fear come along and drag you down

Years from now, they’ll promise pleasure, pills and wine
Go on try them all, but make sure your mama knows you love her
Lord knows you probably will
Lord knows… I hope you will
I hope you will

Years from now Jesus may keep you up at night
If he’s still around I doubt he really means to scare you
I think He’s misunderstood
Oh, don’t you hate being misunderstood?
I hate being misunderstood
I hate being misunderstood

Years from now you’ll hear this song and probably laugh
You’ll have learned, and you’ll think you can do better
And lord knows you probably will
And lord knows… I hope you will
