Album: Growing Up Is Getting Old (2009)

We Threw It All Away

Baby
Come take a look
At this dusty yearbook
Do you remember those two kids?
Its you and me
Most likely to succeed
Had it all planned out yes we did

You were off to college gonna practice law
And I was gonna play football

But we threw it all away
Thats what the whole town had to say
Mama cried, daddy went for a drive
And the whole world changed
Not a clue what to do
So I just kept on loving you
On the day
That we threw it all away

That fall came and went
And so did our friends
Off doing all the things we thought we would
It was tough I know
But we never let go
Kept holding on to prayers we thought we could
And in that morning in december baby
Dont you remember?

When we threw it all away
Thats what the whole town had to say
With your baby blue eyes
Our baby boy cried
And the whole world changed
Not a clue what to do
So I just kept on loving you
On the day
That we threw it all away

Aint it funny how life works out sometimes
Just like we planned
You make all the rules in this house
And I'm quarterbacking for our little man

You were off to college
Gonna practice law
And I was gonna play football

But we threw it all away
Thats what the whole town had to say
Mama cried, daddy went for a drive
And the whole world changed
Not a clue what to do
So I just kept on loving you
On the day
That we threw it all
God bless the day
We threw it all away
Yeah we threw it all away
