GROWING UP - James Johnston

We had no money, but we drove all night\nHeading to the coast, her hand in mine\nAnd we spent all summer by the water under the sun\nYeah, we drank cheap wine in the back of a truck\nTalked about dreams and where we’d end up\nWe were falling in love, man, I thought that she was the one\nBut that sun started to fade, so we turned it around\nIt was hard back then, but I see now\nIt’s part of growing up\nFalling in and out of love\nRunning till you run out of luck\nYeah, sometimes it gets rough, but\nIt’s part of growing up\nLearning to stand up tall\nWhen you get knocked down and you fall\nNo, it ain’t always easy, but\nIt’s part of growing up\nIt was just another single night out on the town\nBut a smile cross the bar turned my life around\nAnd it didn’t take long till I was getting down on my knee\nYeah, a white dress, a church, and the words «I do»\nA promise that I will grow old with you\nI’ll take the ups and downs as long as you’re there with me\nIt’s part of growing up\nFinding the one you love\nYeah, it takes a little luck\nAnd sometimes it gets rough, but\nIt’s part of growing up\nLearning to stand up tall\nWhen you get knocked down and you fall\nNo, it ain’t always easy, but\nIt’s part of growing up\nIt’s part of growing up\nLittle boy looking up at me, tear in his eyes\nSaid he’s given up after crashing his bike, boy\nIt’s part of growing up\nYeah, you’ll get some bruises and cuts\nBut that’s what makes you tough, yeah\nKnow it seems a little rough, but\nIt’s just part of growing up\nLearning to stand up tall\nWhen you get knocked down and you fall\nNo, it ain’t always easy, but\nIt’s part of growing up\nIt’s part of growing up\nIt’s part of growing up\nIt’s part of growing up\nIt’s part of growing up
