Young Anymore Lyrics

She's a ballerina

She rises with the sun

Puts her leotard on

Does her exercise

Her mama waits outside

Smoking cigarettes in the car

And wishing on a star

And concocting alibis

Me I drift by

A cop casts suspicious eyes

But I'm only thinking of

A blond ballerina age nine



And I am her daddy

And I'm a cold-hearted man

All my friends are behind closed doors

And I watch the little girls

As they traverse across the floor

And I'm thinking

This time maybe I ain't that young anymore



The wind from the freeway

Is blowing her hair

She tied it back with a string

The hot desert sun comes down like a brick

She rubs a little lotion in

A truck flew by

The driver gave a sexy eye

But she didn't notice

She was only thinking about a blond

Ballerina age nine



And I am her daddy

And I'm a cold-hearted man

All my friends are behind closed doors

And I watch the little girls

As they traverse the floor

And I'm thinking this time

Maybe I ain't all that young anymore
