Lyrics
She was a devil in Revlon
Laughin' in a rockin' chair
A 5'5" revelation
With raven black hair
They were meltin' in August
Appalachian summer heat
Drinkin' sweet tea in the kitchen
Dancin' in the street
When you're young
Sundays always seem to last forever and ever
Growin' up
Was like a hundred thousand sunsets run together
For worse or for better
You're everything you'll ever be
All at once
When you're young
Well, she looked in the mirror
15 years had passed
There was a wife and a mama
With her eyes starin' back
She lit a candle in the kitchen
Wiped nostalgia from her eyes
She's still that raven-headed girl
With her apron strings tied tight
When you're young
Sundays always seem to last forever and ever
Growin' up
Was like a hundred thousand sunsets run together
For worse or for better
You're everything you'll ever be
All at once
When you're young
Well, the sun sank in the west
On August 29th
Same shade as her Revlon 525
90 years of memories
Sittin' in the rockin' chair
The last thing she saw was herself again
As the girl with raven hair
When you're young
Sundays always seem to last forever and ever
Growin' up
Was like a hundred thousand sunsets run together
For worse or for better
You're everything you'll ever be
All at once
When you're young
When you're young
Laughin' in a rockin' chair
A 5'5" revelation
With raven black hair
They were meltin' in August
Appalachian summer heat
Drinkin' sweet tea in the kitchen
Dancin' in the street
When you're young
Sundays always seem to last forever and ever
Growin' up
Was like a hundred thousand sunsets run together
For worse or for better
You're everything you'll ever be
All at once
When you're young
Well, she looked in the mirror
15 years had passed
There was a wife and a mama
With her eyes starin' back
She lit a candle in the kitchen
Wiped nostalgia from her eyes
She's still that raven-headed girl
With her apron strings tied tight
When you're young
Sundays always seem to last forever and ever
Growin' up
Was like a hundred thousand sunsets run together
For worse or for better
You're everything you'll ever be
All at once
When you're young
Well, the sun sank in the west
On August 29th
Same shade as her Revlon 525
90 years of memories
Sittin' in the rockin' chair
The last thing she saw was herself again
As the girl with raven hair
When you're young
Sundays always seem to last forever and ever
Growin' up
Was like a hundred thousand sunsets run together
For worse or for better
You're everything you'll ever be
All at once
When you're young
When you're young
