"29" Songtext
von Carly Pearce

29, that′s when you're supposed to find yourself
Start drinking whiskey from a higher shelf
Stop calling your mom for help
29, you start paying mortgage instead of rent
Should be picking out a picket fence
Instead of wondering where it went and wondering why

But for me 29
Is the year that I got married and divorced
I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse
From a Miss to a Mrs. then the other way around
The year I was gonna live it up
Now I′m never gonna live it down


29, by now I thought I'd have it figured out
But I've never felt as lost as I do now
And everybody says, "You′re only 29"
But I feel like I′m running out of time
If youth is wasted on the young, have I wasted mine?

'Cause for me 29
Is the year that I got married and divorced
I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse
From a Miss to a Mrs. then the other way around
The year I was gonna live it up
Now I′m never gonna live it down

Seems like everybody else is hanging on to it
But I swear to God, I've barely made my way through it

Oh 29
Is the year that I got married and divorced
Yeah, I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse
From a Miss to a Mrs. then the other way around
The year I was gonna live it up
Hey, let′s just call it what it was
Now I'm never gonna live it down
