7 And 70

(album: Western - 2022)

I chase a nine-to-five, white-picket life
Tryna make my parents proud
I used to cut my hair and change what I'd wear
To be the kinda guy a girl would write home about
I've been a people-pleaser
Never putting me first, but
The older that I'm getting
I finally know who I'm trying to impress 'cause

If I could talk to a younger me
I'd wanna be the man that he wants to be
I'd wanna tell him that he got more
Than everything he prayed for
And if I walked with the man that I'll become
I'd want him to be proud of all we've done
There's only two opinions that matter most to me
And that's me at seven and seventy

I wanna see his innocent eyes see our name up in lights
And tell him, "One day, you're gonna do this"
And I want the me that's gray to just laugh and say
"Boy, you ain't even seen half of it"
I wanna see their smiles
When I tell 'em all about my life

'Cause if I could talk to a younger me
I'd wanna be the man that he wants to be
I'd wanna tell him that he got more
Than everything he prayed for
And if I walked with the man that I'll become
I'd want him to be proud of all we've done
There's only two opinions that matter most to me
And that's me at seven and seventy

I tried being who everybody else wanted me to be
But now there's only two opinions that matter most to me

'Cause if I could talk to a younger me
I'd wanna be the man that he wants to be
I'd wanna tell him that he got more
Than everything he prayed for
And if I walked with the man that I'll become
I'd want him to be proud of all we've done
There's only two opinions that matter most to me
And that's me at seven and seventy

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Seven and seventy)
Seven and seventy
