Twenty-nine

That's when you're supposed to find yourself

Start drinkin' whiskey from a higher shelf

Stop callin' your mom for help

Twenty-nine

You start payin' mortgage instead of rent

Should be pickin' out a picket fence

Instead of wonderin' where it went and wonderin' why.

But for me, twenty-nine

Is the year that I got married and divorced

I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse

From a miss to a mrs. then the other way around

The year I was gonna live it up

Now I'm never gonna live it down.

Twenty-nine

By now, I thought I'd have it figured out

But I've never felt as lost as I do now

And everybody says, "you're only twenty-nine"

But I feel like I'm runnin' out of time

If youth is wasted on the young, have I wasted mine?

'cause for me, twenty-nine

Is the year that I got married and divorced

I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse

From a miss to a mrs. then the other way around

The year I was gonna live it up

Now I'm never gonna live it down.

Seems like everybody else is hangin' on to it

But I swear to god I barely made my way through it.

Oh, twenty-nine

Is the year that I got married and divorced

Yeah, I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse

From a miss to a mrs. then the other way around

The year I was gonna live it up

Hey, let's just call it what it was

Now I'm never gonna live it down.

Mmm...
