Keep Your Heart Young Lyrics - Bear Creek - Brandi Carlile

My grandpa gave me a wheat penny and I kept it in my pocket 

Had big plans in my backyard to build me a space rocket 

Talked to my brother on a fake CB that I made from a tic-tac box 

Packed my snowballs nice and tight and in the middle I put rocks 

Don't trade in your tic-tac box for a ball on the end of the chain 

And don't go spending grandpa's pennies buying into the game 

You gotta keep your heart young 

Don't go growin' old before your time has come 

You can't take back what you have done 

You gotta keep your heart young 

Dad took the wheels off of my bike and he pushed me down a hill 

But speed got the best of me and I took my first spill 

That was back when alcohol was only used on cuts 

Stung like hell so I shook my leg and mama said it would give me guts

Don't trade in your tic-tac box for a ball on the end of the chain 

And don't go spending grandpa's pennies buying into the game 

You gotta keep your heart young 

Don't go growing old before your time has come 

You can't take back what you have done 

You gotta keep your heart young 

So take a picture of the one you love and put it in a locket 

Go dig up your time capsule and the blueprints for your rocket 

Keep in touch on a fake CB and that same old tic-tac box 

Pack your snowballs a little less tight and in the middle still put rocks 

And keep your heart young 

Don't go growing old before your time has come 

You can't take back what you have done 

You gotta keep your heart young

You gotta keep your heart young 

Sometimes you don't die quick 

Just like you wished you'd done 

The love is a loaded gun 

You've gotta keep your heart young 

You can't take back what you have done 

You gotta keep your heart young
