21 Years Lyrics

It was 21 years of gettin' through school

My heart on fire and playin' it cool

21 girls with 21 fools

Yeah, 21 years

It was 21 years of holdin' my own

Burnin' the fuse like a red-hot stone

It was 21 years of feeling at home

Yeah, 21 years

I opened for Tim McGraw

I opened for Sheila E.

She got off tour with Ringo Starr

And then she shared the night with me

It was 21 years of standing strong

And love found new in a country song

After 21 years where I belong

Yeah, 21 years

I sweltered in the summer sun

Stood proud on my nation's shore

Concerts in the dark till I was done

And somebody screamin' for just one more

It was 21 years of Jules on the right

Steve on my wing and Mike in the light

Ray and Scott, they were out of sight

I played that chord and I said, "Goodnight"

After 21 years

It was Ring of Fire and Already Gone

For 21 years
