Lori McKenna - Young and Angry Again

Sitting on the roof to get closer to tomorrow
Didn't know enough to be scared
All you have to talk about is where you're gonna go
And what it's gonna be like out there
Out there

You're carrying around half of what God gave you
And half of what they told you you should be
Trying to make sense of why anyone stays around here
When you're just counting days until you leave

Lighting cigarettes just to hold em
Up in the air singing Never Get Old
Throwing bottles at a high school chain link fence
Telling yourself all you'll ever need
Is a heart full of fire and gasoline
I could use a little of who I was in that way back when
To be young and angry again

You hated the broken hearts but you love the songs about 'em
Cause someone finally felt the way you did
There's dreams litteringthe dirt roads, in the bleachers, in the shadows
But tonight I swear to God I won't forget

Lighting cigarettes just to hold 'em
Up in the air singing Never Get Old
Throwing bottles at a high school chain link fence
Telling yourself all you'll ever need
Is a heart full of fire and gasoline
I could use a little of who I was in that way back when
To be young and angry again

Before the world set in and we punched that clock
Before we knocked those hell bent edges off

Lighting cigarettes just to hold 'em
Up in the air singing Never Get Old
Throwing bottles at a high school chain link fence
Telling yourself all you'll ever need
Is a heart full of fire and gasoline
I could use a little of who I was in that way back when
To be young and angry again
To be young and angry again
