America In Your 20's

Two blonde girls in a tennis match

And the one who hits a winner

Gets an urn of ashes from her late mother

And a car loan she can't pay

From feeling cute with your gap teeth

Till the last drunk calls you a field goal with pink cheeks

And now you've lost any glitter that you once made

Is the party over?

Did tomorrow come too soon?

Is that what getting older is?

The more you know, the less you do

Nothing as serious or as funny

As America in your twenties

Twenty-six and an idiot

Eating microwave pizza for dinner, at least I've got

A white priest and a 2012 class ring

And though my heart is in Tennessee

Everyone from my town

Is either dead or they're married, wow

James says there they both mean the same thing

Is the party over?

Did tomorrow come too soon?

Is this what get older is?

You wake up in your father's shoes

It's gonna take your heart and your money

It's America in your—

It's America in your twenties

Trust a boy who says he knows you want it, and he'll be pull out conscious

Nothing more patriotic than that

Drive your Civic alone to a clinic, you and your morning sickness

They never taught this part in class

Nothing as serious or as funny

Everybody hates me, everybody loves me

It's kinda fucked to think that it's lucky

To be in America in your twenties
