"When I Grow Up" lyrics

Hard to believe that another page is turning
It feels like the years are just flying by
Still trying to figure just where on earth I'm headed
I keep thinking the answer will come with time

Its gonna be alright
Cause I made up my mind

That when I grow up I'm gonna be happy
I'm gonna wear a big smile for the world to see
Yeah, when I grow up I'm gonna be happy
Happy just being me

I was going to hit it big, I was going to be a billionaire
Build my mansion high up on a hill
That dream only left me searching for something bigger
So I set my sights on something I could feel

Something that no one could take
Something I could give away

Yeah, when I grow up I'm gonna be happy
I'm gonna wear a big smile for the world to see
Yeah, when I grow up I'm gonna be happy
Happy just being me

When you were born I was a still a kid
Myself and I, was a far cry
Thank heaven the answers all figured out
I taught you to a throw ball
To shoot for the moon, ride a back, say your prayers, climb a deer stand
I learned more from you when you said "Hey Dad..."

When I grow up I'm gonna be happy
I'm gonna wear a big smile for the world to see
Yeah, when I grow up I'm gonna be happy
Happy just being me
