Practice Swing Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's easy to play pretend
When you're a wannabe know-it-all rebel kid
Drivin' a second-hand pickup truck
That you bought wrecked
Friday night football lights
Saturday night keg party dreams
She took a little piece of you when she
Gave back your class ring

[Pre-Chorus]
It wasn't the real thing
Just a practice swing

[Chorus]
Life was just a new song blarin' on the radio
Fake ID that worked at the Amoco
Wasn't real money, borrowed time
First base, first love, up all night
Bendin' the rules, playin' the game
White lies, little sins fade away
Everything about seventeen
Is just a practice swing

[Verse 2]
Overnight, it all changed
All the faces and all the names
Everybody started keepin' score
In a rat race for a little more
But in my head, I'm still that kid
Fightin' this dog ain't got no quit
Man I'd love to do it all again Like I did way back when
[Chorus]
Life was just a new song blarin' on the radio
Fake ID that worked at the Amoco
Wasn't real money, borrowed time
First base, first love, up all night
Bendin' the rules, playin' the game
White lies, little sins fade away
Everything about seventeen
Is just a practice swing

[Chorus]
Life was just a new song blarin' on the radio
Fake ID that worked at the Amoco
Wasn't real money, borrowed time
First base, first love, up all night
Bendin' the rules, playin' the game
White lies, little sins fade away
Everything about seventeen
Is just a practice swing

[Outro]
(Life was just a new song blarin' on the radio)
Is just a practice swing
(Fake ID that worked at the Amoco)
Is just a practice swing
(Life was just a new song blarin' on the radio)
Is just a practice swing
(Fake ID that worked at the Amoco)
