Never Grow Up Boy (Del McCoury)

I ain't seen 18 in a long time I ain't seen my baby for a while But I'll be home by Monday mornin' After I drive 200 miles I make my living with a guitar My job is standing on a stage I played in churches, fairs, and dive bars I ain't never gonna act my age Don't never let it be said darlin' That what I do don't bring me joy Climb in the seat beside my Martin Cause I'm a guitar pickin', bluegrass singing Never grow up boy Sometimes when I look in the mirror I see the boy I used to be And after all these years it's clearer The dreams of boys can set men free I know I've put you through some hard times Those lonely nights I wasn't there But you were never far from my mind Your love was with me everywhere I ain't seen 18 in a long time Ain't seen my baby for awhile
