Eighteen

Got a half pack of cigarettes, forty dollars to my name
A box full of old cassettes, of all the songs I can’t forget
I borrowed all I could I’ll take the rest
I’ll make up my own rules to break success
Yeah, there’s no better time to run away
If tomorrow never comes, I’m here today
Cause I was eighteen with a stupid dream
You told me, don’t believe but I know better
I’m ready more than ever now
Eighteen with too much self-esteem
You told me, don’t believe but I know better
I’m ready more than ever now
Stumbled in to hollywood, it’s snowing with the cocaine
No ones up to any good, so I’m a find my own way
I borrowed all I could I’ll take the rest
I’ll make up my own rules to break success
Yeah, there’s no better time to run away
If tomorrow never comes, I’m here today
Cause I was eighteen with a stupid dream
You told me, don’t believe but I know better
I’m ready more than ever now
Eighteen with too much self-esteem
You told me, don’t believe but I know better
I’m ready more than ever now
I might have nothing but I want it all
Something I made, something to call my own
You say I’m trippin’ but I know it’s real
I’m gonna get it; beg, borrow, or steal
I’m ready more than ever now
Eighteen with a stupid dream
You told me, don’t believe but I know better
I’m ready more than ever now
Eighteen with too much self-esteem
You told me, don’t believe but I know better
I’m ready more than ever now
