"Boys Growing Up" lyrics

Mamas talk to Jesus a lot about boys growing up
And the junkyards still doing a lot of business from boys growing up
When the girls become women, they don't waste any time
While were playing in the dirt they're just rolling their eyes
They still keep on falling for the boys growing up

The toys get faster, drinks get stronger
Skin gets thicker and the shadows get longer
We're still falling down
Learning how to pick yourself up off the ground
You know a man's gotta be tough, but don't mind us, we're just boys growing up

A lot of broken hearts get blamed on boys growing up
And a lot of diamond rings get bought by boys growing up
A lot of swinging for the fences a lot of striking out
A lot of break ups make ups and coming back arounds
Next thing we know we're watching our boys growing up

The toys get faster drinks get stronger
Skin gets thicker and the shadows get longer
We're still falling down learning how to pick yourself up off the ground
You know a man's gotta be tough, but don't mind us, we're just boys growing up

Mamas talk to Jesus a lot about their boys growing up
And the junkyards still doing a lot of business from boys growing up

The toys get faster, drinks get stronger
Skin gets thicker and the shadows get longer
We're still falling down
Learning how to pick yourself off the ground
You know a man's gotta be tough, but don't mind us, we're just boys growing up
Boys growing up
