Keith Urban’s ‘Wasted Time’ is About Skipping School and Rope Swinging

Ready to go back in time with Keith Urban?

The more I read about Keith Urban, the more I just adore him. His new album Ripcord is due out on May 6 and on it is a single that gives us a look into his life growing up in Caboolture, Australia.

It's called "Wasted Time" and Keith performed it at the ACM Awards.

It not only gives us a peek into Keith's childhood, it also makes us reminisce about our own lives and the times we would just waste doing whatever. The time we spent "kickin' around" hopefully with a loved one. In an interview with CMT, Keith said that meant skipping school to head on down to the rope swing.

“I think of this area in this little town I grew up in called Caboolture, and we used to have a little rope swing by the river down from our high school. And we would always skip class and go down there and I have the best memories of that."

It's a breath of fresh air from the songs that are all about stalking your exes at your favorite date spot or on social media.
