Smart ass little girl, always on the run Playin' with fire and daddy's gun Fallin' in love on stolen wine Where did we go wrong, my foolish child? She said, I'm too young to drink Too green to think You say these things and it wears me out Too young, too frail but sometimes I feel Like old blue jeans 'Cause you wear me out, you wear me out Well who are you to judge, miss accidental wife? Who was the genius that brought me to life? Well you're such a hypocrite, to think me so unwise I'm just trying to see the world Through my own eyes But you say, I'm too young to drink Too green to think You say these things and it wears me out Too young, too frail but sometimes I feel Like old blue jeans 'Cause you wear me out, you wear me out Well I'm tattered and torn, see what you do? Just admit it was all because of you When I don't come home 'til the early morning, yeah yeah yeah I'm too young to drink Too green to think You say these things and it wears me out Too young, too frail but sometimes I feel Like old blue jeans 'Cause you wear me out, you wear me out Don't you know that you wear me out You wear me out
