You're Just 18 (new)

Story Behind The Song

I have lived the lyrics of this song. After much stress, conflict, and turmoil, you discover that above all...you just want your daughter home safe. (in fact, that becomes a pleading midnight prayer)

Song Description

Raising a teenage daughter is not for the weak at heart! A father waits, worries, and wonders where his daughter is. If she would just come home, it could be worked out. Safe at home.

Song Length 3:40 Genre Country - General
Tempo Medium Slow (91 - 110) Lead Vocal Male Vocal
Mood Endearing Subject Father

Lyrics

It's the phone again, jump out of bed, 2AM
But it's not you, just another worried friend
Said she saw you, on the other side of town
Asked to take you home, you stayed with the same ol' crowd

PRE CHORUS

You're way too young, to be taking on the world
Caught somewhere in between a woman and a girl

CHORUS

Your just 18
Do you know what your life means
How you're precious in my sight
Don't care who's right or wrong
And I don't want to fight
I just want you safe, home, tonight


I've been here before, just a different place and time
I carry the scars and more, though hidden by my pride
Come home we'll talk it through, what's going on inside
I'm waiting up for you, cause sleep won't come tonight
