Fifteen Years Ago - Conway Twitty

You take a deep breath, and you walk through the doors It's the mornin' of your very first day You say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while Try and stay out of everybody's way It's your freshman year, and you're gonna be here For the next four years in this town Hopin' one of those senior boys will wink at you and say "You know, I haven't seen you around before" 'Cause when you're 15 and somebody tells you they love you You're gonna believe them And when you're 15, feelin' like there's nothin' to figure out Well, count to ten, take it in This is life before you know who you're gonna be at 15 You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail And soon enough, you're best friends Laughin' at the other girls who think they're so cool We'll be outta here as soon as we can And then you're on your very first date and he's got a car And you're feelin' like flyin' And your mama's waitin' up and you're thinkin' he's the one And you're dancin' 'round your room when the night ends When the night ends 'Cause when you're 15 and somebody tells you they love you You're gonna believe them And when you're 15 and your first kiss Makes your head spin 'round, well In your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team I didn't know it at 15 When all you wanted was to be wanted Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now Back then, I swore I was gonna marry him someday But I realized some bigger dreams of mine And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy who changed his mind And we both cried 'Cause when you're 15 and somebody tells you they love you You're gonna believe them And when you're 15, don't forget to look before you fall But I've found time can heal most anything And you just might find who you're supposed to be I didn't know who I was supposed to be at 15 La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la Your very first day Take a deep breath, girl Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors

Here he come, honey, run on I drank 15 beers That's a whole lot of brew in one night When you try to drown a memory from your mind It took me 15 beers to get here I don't know how many more 'til I leave Take my change in tears and drink my 15 beers Well, I rolled into Joe's about 6:15 And I was ready to pour 'em down Because at eight o'clock Delilahs was a-meeting me there Well, I thought I would have a pour just to loosen up 'Cause we were really gonna swing tonight I could already see her face and touch her long red hair Well, at 9:35, I thought man a live What could be a-holding her up? Just then, a man in a long black Cadillac Came in and told little Joe filler up While he was cleaning off the windows a-kissing, he saw In the back and it was soft as rain It was Delilah sipping on pink champagne I drank 15 beers That's a whole lot of brew for one man When you try to drown a memory from your mind, yeah It took 15 beers to forget you I don't know how many more to just get While he holds Delilah near, I'll drink my 15 beers Bring it on I drank 15 beers And that's a whole lot of brew in one night When you try to drown a memory from your mind It took me 15 beers to get here I don't know how many more 'til I leave I'll take my change in tears and drink my 15 beers My 15 beers, how many of you are six or seven? 15 beers, just keep bringing them son 15 beers, that's what I need Bring me that 15 beers And by the way, bring me chili scorch

This day feels long. It feels brief when the light is gone. When I look to my youth I never thought about the time. The thought of my day to come was the last thing upon my mind. But that was a long Time ago. My adolescent way. Feels like it was only yesterday. Learning to cast my line right off the riverbed. Feels like yesterday but it was a long time ago I said. It was a long time ago. We had a blast we had a ball. I was told man that I could have it all. I was told to watch every little thing that I go and say. Told a long long time ago but still got it with me today. It was a long time ago. It was a long time ago.
