Before I'm out There

Everybody keeps on talking about
Where they're gonna go when they get out
4 years later, leaving town, they'll graduate and settle down

Tell me what happened to football games
No expectations or bills to pay
I wanna go back to young and free
This growing up is killing me

But before I say goodbye to high school
There's somethings I need to know that they don't teach you

Like how do i know a good price for gas
How to change a tire when i get a flat
How to fix a lightbulb, shake a hand
When to back down or take a stand

When I feel like breaking, falling apart
How do I heal this ole heart
When I get scared late at night
How do I know I'm gonna be alright
Somebody teach me what I need to know
Before I'm out there, in this big ole world alone

All the time I spent wishing that
I didn't have to go to class
I never thought there'd be a day
I'd miss being in them ole hallways

Crowded lunch rooms, sweaty gyms
Under the bleachers kissing him
Yeah we both knew that'd it never last
But we don't care what happened after that

So before I say goodbye to high school
There's something I need to know they the don't teach you

Like how do I know a good price for gas
How to change a tire when I get a flat
How to fix a lightbulb, shake a hand
When to back down or take a stand

When I feel like breaking, falling apart
How do I heal this ole heart
When I get scared late at night
How do I know I'm gonna be alright
Somebody teach me what I need to know
Before I'm out there, in this big ole world alone
This big ole world alone

Now they don't help you prepare for this
They just left me to sink or swim
But I feel like, I feel like
I'm drowning

Cuz I don't know a good price for gas
How to change a tire when I get a flat
How to fix a lightbulb, shake a hand
Somebody help me understand

When I feel like breaking, falling apart
How do I heal this ole heart
When I get scared late at night
How do I know I'm gonna be alright
Somebody teach me what I need to know

Oh somebody, help me out before I go
Before I'm out there, in this big ole world alone
Out there on my own
