I chase the 9 to 5, white picket life, tryna make my parents proud I used to cut my hair and change what I'd wear To be the kinda guy would write home about I've been a people pleaser Never putting me first but The older that I'm getting I finally know who I'm trying to impress 'cause If I could talk to a younger me I'd wanna be the man that he wants to be I'd wanna tell him that he got more Than everything he prayed for And if I walked with the man that I'll become I'd want him to be proud of all we've done There's only two opinions that matter most to me (matter most to me) And that's me at seven and seventy I wanna see his innocent eyes, see our name up in lights And tell him one day, "You're gonna do this" And I want to mean that's grey, to just laugh and say "Boy, you ain't even seen half of it" I wanna see their smiles when I tell them all about my life 'Cause if I could talk to a younger me I'd wanna be the man that he wants to be I'd wanna tell him that he got more Than everything he prayed for And if I walked with the man that I'll become I'd want him to be proud of all we've done There's only two opinions that matter most to me (matter most to me) And that's me at seven and seventy I tried being who everybody else wanted me to be But now there's only two opinions that matter most to me 'Cause if I could talk to a younger me I'd wanna be the man that he wants to be I'd wanna tell him that he got more Than everything he prayed for And if I walked with the man that I'll become I'd want him to be proud of all we've done There's only two opinions that matter most to me (matter most to me) And that's me at seven and seventy Yeah, seven and seventy Seven and seventy --- 7 And 70 - Spencer Crandall
