Practice Swing
Life's Practice Swing: Nostalgia in Logan Mize's Song
Lyrics
It's easy to play pretend
Engaging in make-believe is effortless
When you're a wannabe know it all rebel kid
Being a self-proclaimed knowledgeable rebel as a young person
Driving a second hand pick-up truck
Driving a used pickup truck that was previously damaged
That you bought wrecked
Purchasing a wrecked truck
Friday night football lights
Experiencing the lights of Friday night high school football
Saturday night keg party dreams
Dreaming of keg parties on Saturday nights
She took a little piece of you when
Someone took a part of you when returning your class ring
She gave back your class ring
Returning a class ring symbolizing the end of a relationship
It wasn't the real thing
The relationship wasn't genuine, just a trial
Just a practice swing
Comparing life to a practice swing, not the real deal
Life was just a new song blaring on the radio
Life is like a new song playing loudly
Fake ID that worked at the Amoco
Using a fake ID that works at a specific gas station
Wasn't real money, borrowed time
Not dealing with real money, living on borrowed time
First base, first love up all night
Experiencing first base and first love, staying up all night
Bending the rules, playing the game
Breaking rules and playing the game
White lies, little sins fade away
White lies and small sins that eventually fade away
Everything about seventeen
Being seventeen is a trial period
Is just a practice swing
Everything at seventeen is just a practice swing
Overnight it all changed
Things changed overnight
All the faces and all the names
New faces and names entered the scene
Everybody started keeping score
People started keeping track of achievements
In a rat race for a little more
In a competitive race for more
But in my head I'm still that kid
Mentally, still identifying as the rebellious kid
Fighting this dog ain't got no quit
Continuing to fight without giving up
Man I'd love to do it all again
Expressing a desire to relive the past
Like I did way back when
Yearning to experience life as in the past
Life was just a new song blaring on the radio
Life is compared to a new song on the radio
Fake ID that worked at the Amoco
Using a fake ID that worked at a specific gas station
Wasn't real money, borrowed time
Not dealing with real money, living on borrowed time
First base, first love up all night
Experiencing first base and first love, staying up all night
Bending the rules, playing the game
Breaking rules and playing the game
White lies, little sins fade away
White lies and small sins that eventually fade away
Everything about seventeen
Being seventeen is a trial period
Is just a practice swing
Everything at seventeen is just a practice swing
Life was just a new song blaring on the radio
Life is compared to a new song on the radio
Fake ID that worked at the Amoco
Using a fake ID that worked at a specific gas station
Wasn't real money, borrowed time
Not dealing with real money, living on borrowed time
First base, first love up all night
Experiencing first base and first love, staying up all night
Bending the rules, playing the game
Breaking rules and playing the game
White lies, little sins fade away
White lies and small sins that eventually fade away
Everything about seventeen
Being seventeen is a trial period
Is just a practice swing
Everything at seventeen is just a practice swing
Is just a practice swing
Life at seventeen is merely a practice swing
Just a practice swing just a practice swing
Reiterating that life at seventeen is just a practice swing
