Twenty-One (2011) Lyrics


When I was only seventeen, couldn't wait for twenty one
I'd hang around on Clayton Street in the bars there gettin' drunk
A baseball cap and a fake ID would get me in the clubs
Then I would dance with the college girls and lie about who I was
I'd say "I'm pre-Med. here at UGA, live on Milledge Avenue.
I was raised over in Buckhead, I drive a BMW."I was breakin' hearts and takin' names and numbers just for fun.
Stealin' kisses wishin' I was twenty one.When Thursdays came and pocket change would quickly disappear
Upstairs at Lowry's Tavern, we'd pay a nickel for every beer
Shootin' pool, smokin' cigarettes with a dizzy head and a grin
Four A.M. on a school night, still hangin' out with my friends
One hour's sleep on a dirty couch, no shower, off to school
Smellin' just like a brewery with a bad hangover tooThe teachers all would hassle me: "Stay awake, pay attention"
I was catchin' hell, wishin' I was twenty one.The youngest one of all my friends, I didn't act my age
Too cool for the football games and the homecoming paradesNow I look back and I have to smile, cause boy it was fun
Bein' seventeen, wishin' I was twenty oneNow I'm only twenty six, feelin' more like fourty three
My hairline's disappearing, and I never get ID'd
My clothes are out of fashion, no I'm not cool anymore
In the bed by ten o'clock each night, and up at half-past four

Still I go down to that college town when the Bulldogs play at home
I drink keg beer from a trash can til the whole damn thing is goneThen I look at all those college girls so innocent and young
And I just check 'em out, and say "Damn... I wish I was twenty one"

For Corey Smith, one of the best things about making music has always been getting the chance to hang out and have a good time with his friends. And it’s still that way, nearly 10 years after his early days of playing the bars around Athens, Georgia. The big difference now? Well, it seems these days Corey just has a lot more friends to hang with. The crowds at his sold-out live performances frequently number in the thousands—quite a change from the times when he never dreamed of much beyond playing for a handful of his college buddies.
