Verse 1 I wrote a letter to the old me The girl that used to think Loves a simple recipe of sweet tea and harmony How dumb could she be I wrote a page about that one guy Who had a little devil In his eyes Hes buttering you up and telling charming little lies Hes got a thing for double lives PRE So from the older and wiser I think I should advise you To call it off before it can start CHORUS 1 Momma wont tell you and your daddy didnt say Youll get love in fleeting glimpses But it always fades away Bfore ya put a diamond on that pretty little hand Mak sure you got a prenup and a decent piece of land Papa never told ya Theres a 5050 chance Youll spend summers in Boise, Idaho and not the south of France So before you take my letter And throw it on the fire If you only take one thing from this Aim a little higher Verse 2 Dont skip the page about your tendency Of finding boys with broken wings You give them everything Fixing them up and then they leave Theyll never give you what you need PRE So from the older and wiser I think I should advise you To call it off before it can start CHORUS 2 Momma wont tell you and daddy didnt say Youll get love in fleeting glimpses But it always fades away Before ya put a diamond on that pretty little hand Make sure you got a prenup and a decent piece of land Papa never told ya Theres a 5050 chance Youll spend summers in Boise, Idaho and not the south of France So before you take my letter And throw it on the fire If you only take one thing from this Aim a little higher Bridge And to close I wrote a paragraph About this boy wholl make you laugh He likes the sunrise He isnt perfect but he tries And girl hell love you till the day he dies Pre 2 So from the older, the wiser I think I should advise ya That hes the one thats right for your heart CHORUS 3 Momma didnt tell ya and daddy didnt say That theres someone right for everyone As long as you can wait Hes gonna put a diamond on that pretty little hand But youll still need a prenup and a decent piece of land Papa once told ya Back in the day Ya get a good one on the hook dont let him slip away So before you take my letter And throw it on the fire If you only take one thing from this Aim a little higher
