Keep Your Heart Young

Lyrics

My grandpa gave me a wheat penny and I kept it in my pocket
 I had big plans in my backyard to build me a space rocket
 I talked to my brother on a fake CB that I made from a Tic-Tac box
 I packed my snowballs nice and tight
 And in the middle, I put rocks
 Don't trade in your Tic-Tac box for a ball on the end of the chain
 And don't go spending grandpa's pennies buying into the game
 You gotta keep your heart young
 Don't go growin' old before your time has come
 You can't take back what you have done
 You gotta keep your heart young
 Dad took the wheels off of my bike
 And he pushed me down the hill
 But speed got the best of me, and I took my first spill
 That was back when alcohol was only used on cuts
 Stung like hell, so I jerked my leg
 My mama said it would give me guts
 Don't trade in your Tic-Tac box for a ball on the end of the chain
 And don't go spending grandpa's pennies buying into the game
 You gotta keep your heart young
 Don't go growing old before your time has come
 You can't take back what you have done
 You gotta keep your heart young
 So take a picture of the one you love and put it in a locket
 Go dig up your time capsule and the blueprints for your rocket
 Keep in touch on a fake CB and that same old Tic-Tac box
 Pack your snowballs a little less tight
 But in the middle, still put rocks
 And keep your heart young
 Don't go growing old before your time has come
 You can't take back what you have done
 You gotta keep your heart young
 You gotta keep your heart young
 Sometimes you don't die quick
 Just like you wished you'd done
 Though love is a loaded gun
 You've gotta keep your heart young
 You can't take back what you have done is done
 You gotta keep your heart young
