About

Moore told the Huffington Post this song is autobiographical, and tells the story of how he grew up in Tifton, Georgia and how he finally made it to Nashville: “This being my debut record, I needed to let some people in [on my] growing up; letting people in on my life a little bit.

Reckless (Still Growin’ Up) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I spent a summer down south
Working for the county, trying to save for school
I blew it all like a damn fool on women and beer
I didn't have the grades
But I had myself a major league fastball
Got a call from the minor leagues in Wichita
And blew out my arm the first year, haha yeah

[Verse 2]
Well, I took a good look at my life
And decided I'd make a change
Booked me a flight on an airplane
I was third world Peace Corps bound
But I met me a stewardess waiting right there
In the airport bar, before I knew it I was in her car
And never turned around

[Chorus]
Well, maybe I'm reckless, maybe bad luck
Hell, maybe I'm way too much about having fun
I'll send you a postcard, send me your love
Just don't give up on me yet, I'm still growing up

[Verse 3]
I went to work for my uncle on the coast
At a club called the Hot Spot
We took our breaks on the boat docks
And I got fired for smoking pot
With the beach right there
I guess surfing was the logical next move
But I got mouthy with the wrong dude
And got my damn jaw tattooed

[Chorus]
Well, maybe I'm reckless, maybe bad luck
Hell maybe I'm way too much about having fun
I'll send you a postcard, send me your love
Just don't give up on me yet, I'm still growing up
All right

[Verse 4]
I bought an old guitar
With cash from a good hand of blackjack
Learned a few chords from a fat-back
Hairy man named Pete
I got a local gig on the weekends
In some old honky-tonk
Singing two hours of nothing but Cash songs
And I could always drink for free

[Verse 5]
And some so-called big-wig producer man
Started sniffing around
He told me he liked my sound
But there was something holding me back
He said a rhinestone suit and a cowboy hat outta do the trick
I told him I had something he could stick, way on up his ass

[Chorus]
Well, maybe I'm reckless, maybe bad luck
Hell maybe I'm way too much about having fun
I'll send you a postcard, send me your love
Just don't give up on me yet, I'm still growing up
I'll send you a postcard, send me your love
Just don't give up on me yet, I'm still growing up
All right

[Outro]
But don't give up on me yet
I know I might take a little time
But I'm gonna come around
I just feel like I've still got a few things
I gotta get out of my system
