"Beer With Younger Me" lyrics

If I could have a beer with younger me
I'd open up a tab for us both
He'd probably have one too many
And I'd laugh at jokes that I already know
And I'd let him talk, 'cause there's so much I forgot
Like details of that night in Tennessee
And I'd recognize that fire in his eyes
But I'd want to tell him just a couple things

Don't stop trying, keep on fighting
Take it from me, you're doing better than you think
You ain't that old yet, don't you forget
Live in the moment, it goes by in a blink
We'd both have our own point of view
If I could have a beer with younger me
We'd both learn a thing or two

If I could have a beer with younger me
He'd ask if I ever settled down
I'd say I married up, got a couple little ones
That look just like you running 'round
He'd complain about his parents, and I'd just sit and listen
I know how much he'll miss 'em one day
I'd talk about my age and how I miss those glory days
If I know me, I guarantee he'd say

Don't stop trying, keep on fighting
Take it from me, you're doing better than you think
You ain't that old yet, don't you forget
Live in the moment, it goes by in a blink
We'd both have our own point of view
If I could have a beer with younger me
We'd both learn a thing or two

Yeah, ooh
Some days, you'll fall apart
But you'll pick up the pieces
You're gonna lose your way and find your way right back to Jesus
I promise you're gonna make it through
Don't know who'd be talking to who

'Cause if I could have a beer with younger me
We'd both learn a thing or two
If I could have a beer with younger me
We'd both learn a thing or two
