"GROWING UP" lyrics

We had no money, but we drove all night
Heading to the coast, her hand in mine
And we spent all summer by the water under the sun

Yeah, we drank cheap wine in the back of a truck
Talked about dreams and where we'd end up
We were falling in love, man, I thought that she was the one

But that sun started to fade, so we turned it around
It was hard back then, but I see now

It's part of growing up
Falling in and out of love
Running till you run out of luck
Yeah, sometimes it gets rough, but

It's part of growing up
Learning to stand up tall
When you get knocked down and you fall
No, it ain't always easy, but
It's part of growing up

It was just another single night out on the town
But a smile cross the bar turned my life around
And it didn't take long till I was getting down on my knee

Yeah, a white dress, a church, and the words "I do"
A promise that I will grow old with you
I'll take the ups and downs as long as you're there with me

It's part of growing up
Finding the one you love
Yeah, it takes a little luck
And sometimes it gets rough, but

It's part of growing up
Learning to stand up tall
When you get knocked down and you fall
No, it ain't always easy, but
It's part of growing up
It's part of growing up

Little boy looking up at me, tear in his eyes
Said he's given up after crashing his bike, boy

It's part of growing up
Yeah, you'll get some bruises and cuts
But that's what makes you tough, yeah
Know it seems a little rough, but

It's just part of growing up
Learning to stand up tall
When you get knocked down and you fall
No, it ain't always easy, but
It's part of growing up

It's part of growing up
It's part of growing up
It's part of growing up
It's part of growing up
