Letter To Me

Letter to me - Brad Paisley

If I could write a letter to me
And send it back in time to myself at 17
First I'd prove it's me by sayin'
Look under your bed
There's a skoal can and a playboy Noone else would know ya hid
Then I'd say I know it's tough when ya break up after 7 months
And I know ya really liked her and it just don't seem fair
But all I can say is pain like that is fast and it's rare

And oh, ya got so much goin' for ya goin' right
But I know at 17 it's hard
To see past Friday night
She wasn't right for you
But still it feels like there's a knife
Stickin' out a your back
and you're wonderin' if you'll survive
But you'll make it through this and you'll see
Cause you're still around to write this letter to me

At the stop sign at Tom linson and 8th
Always stop completely
Don't just tap your brakes
And when ya get a date with Bridget
Make sure the tank is full
On second thought forget it
That one turns out kinda cool each and every time ya have a fight
Just assume you're wrong and dad is right
And you should really thank Mrs. brigman
She spent so much extra time It's like she sees the diamond underneath and she's polishin' ya til you shine

And oh, ya got so much goin' for ya goin' right but I know at 17
It's hard
To see past Friday night
Tonight's the Bonfire rally
But you're stayin' home instead
Because if you fail algebra
Mom and dad's kill ya dead
But trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
Cause you're still around to write this letter to me

You got so much up ahead
You'll make new friends
You should see your kids and wife
And I'd end by sayin' have no fear
These are nowhere near the best years of your life

I guess I'll see ya in the mirror
When you're a grown man
P.S. Go hug aunt Rita
Every chance ya can

And oh, you got so much goin' for ya goin' right but I know at 17 it's hard
To see past Friday night
I wish you'd study Spanish
I wish you'd take a typing class
I wish you wouldn't worry let it be
I'd say have a little faith and you'll see
If I could write a letter to me
To me
