Lyrics for Song: Letter to Me 
Lyrics for Album: 5th Gear [Arista] [2007]
  
               
  26106>If I could write a letter to me and send it back in time to myself at 17
  First I'd prove it's me by saying look under your bed
  There's a Skoal can and a Playboy no one else would know you hid
  And then I'd say I know it's tough when you break up after seven months
  And yeah, I know you really liked her, and it just don't seem fair
  All I can say is pain like that is fast and it's rare.
 
 
  Chorus:
  And oh, you got so much going for you, going right
  But I know at 17, it's hard to see past Friday night
  She wasn't right for you
  And still you feel like there's a knife sticking out of your back
  And you're wondering if you'll survive
  You'll make it through this and you'll see
  You're still around to write this letter to me.
 
 
  At the stop sign at Tominson and Eighth
  Always stop completely
  Don't just tap your brakes
  And when you get a date with Bridgett
  Make sure the tank is full
  On second thought forget it
  That one turns out kinda cool
  Each and every time you have a fight
  Just assume you're wrong and dad is right
  And you should really thank Mrs. Brinkman
  She spent so much extra time
  It's like she sees the diamond underneath
  And she's polishing you 'til you shine.
 
 
  Chorus:
  And oh, you got so much going for you, going right
  But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
  Tonight's the bonfire rally but you're staying home instead
  Because if you fail algebra, mom and dad will kill you dead
  Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
  And you're still around to write this letter to me.
 
 
  You've got so much ahead
  You'll make new friends, you should see your kids and wife
  And I'd end by saying have no fear
  These are nowhere near the best years of your life.
 
 
  I guess I'll see you in the mirror
  When you're a grown man
  P.S. go hug Aunt Rita every chance you can.
 
 
  Chorus:
  And oh, you got so much going for you, going right
  But I know at 17, it's hard to see past Friday night
  I wish you'd study Spanish
  I wish you'd take a typing class
  I wish you wouldn't worry, let it be
  I'd say have a little faith, and you'll see.
 
 
  If I could write a letter to me, to me...
