We Threw It All Away Lyrics - Growing Up Is Getting Old - Jason Michael Carroll

Baby come take look at this dusty yearbook 

Do you remember those two kids? 

It's you and me most likely to succeed 

Had it all planned out, yes we did 

You were off to college gonna practice law 

And I was gonna play football 

But we threw it all away that's what the whole town had to say 

Momma cried, daddy went for a drive and the whole world changed 

Not a clue what to do so I just kept on loving you 

On the day that we threw it all away 

The fall came and went and so did are friends 

Of doing all the things we thought we would 

It was tough I know but we never let go 

Kept holdin' onto prayers, we thought we could 

And then that morning in December, baby 

Don' you remember? 

When we threw it all away that's what the whole town had to say 

With your baby blue eyes our baby boy cried and the whole world changed 

Not a clue what to do so I just kept on loving you 

On the day that we threw it all away 

Ain't it funny how life works out sometimes just like we planned? 

You make all the rules in this house 

And I'm quarterbacking for our little man 

You were off to college gonna practice law 

And I was gonna play football 

But we threw it all away that's what the whole town had to say 

Momma cried, daddy went for a drive and the whole world changed 

Not a clue what to do so I just kept on loving you 

On the day that we threw it all, God bless the day we threw it all away 

Yeah, we threw it all away
