Growing Up

(album: Country Again (Side A) - 2021)

I used to hit the bar downtown
Chase girls with Coke and Crown
Raise 'em up and shut 'em down, shut 'em down
Had a trusty spot down by the lake
Beers were cold, ID's were fake, and
Love was just a word we'd say for a midnight kiss

Ain't come a long way, but I've come a little
Hanging out somewhere out in the middle

Guess you get a little older, get a little wiser
A little more turn that cheek
Little less what I want, and more what I need these days, I
Still get a little crazy
In a lot of ways, I'm still the kid I was
Just a little less Jack in my cup
Oh, I guess I'm growing up
Yeah, I guess I'm growing up

Looking in the rear view mirror, I see things a little more clear
What it took to get me here makes a lot more sense
Seems like the prayers I'm praying are more like a conversation
And it ain't hell I'm raising, hell, all I'm saying is

Guess you get a little older, get a little wiser
A little more turn that cheek
Little less what I want, and more what I need these days, I
Still get a little crazy
In a lot of ways, I'm still the kid I was
Just a little less jack up my truck
Oh, I guess I'm growing up, growing up the longer I live
Growing up, don't know as much as I thought I did, no, no

Ooh, no, no, no

Guess you get a little older, get a little wiser
A little more turn that cheek
Little less what I want, and more what I need these days, I
Still get a little crazy
In a lot of ways, I'm still the kid I was
A little less temper, and a lot more love
I guess I'm just growing up
Yeah, I guess I'm growing up
Oh, you know I'm growing up
Ain't we all growing up?

Guess you get a little older
Get a little wiser
Yeah, you know I'm growing up
Mmm, mmm (Oh, whoa)
