Growing Up

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, IDs 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
Hangin' 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
Lookin' 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 prayin' are more like a conversation
And it ain't hell I'm raising, hell, all I'm sayin' 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
Oh, 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
