Keep Your Heart Young

Grandpa gave a penny and I put it in my pocket

I had big plans in my back yard 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 but in the middle I put rocks

Don’t trade in your tic-tac box for a ball on the end of a 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’ve gotta keep your heart young

Dad took the wheels off of my bike and he pushed me down a hill

But speed got the best of me and I took my first spill

That was back when alcohol was only used on cuts

It stung like hell so I turned my leg and momma said it’d give me guts

Don’t trade in your tic-tac box for a ball on the end of a 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’ve 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 blue prints for your rocket

Keep in touch on a fake CB, 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 growin old before your time has come

You can’t take back what you have done

You’ve gotta keep your heart young

You gotta keep your heart young

Sometimes you don’t die quick

Just like you wished you’d done

The love is a loaded gun

You’ve gotta keep your heart young

You can’t take back what you have done

You’ve gotta keep your heart young
