[Verse 1]
A few months back
I was holdin' my momma's hand
While she was watchin' her momma pass
Sayin', "No, not again"
When dad's test came back
I was fallin' for a real good man
'Til it started fallin' flat
They say growin' up's fun
Where's the fun in that?
[Chorus]
Growin' up is gettin' old
It's weighin' down on my shoulders
Growin' up, it takes a toll
Tell me when the hard part's over
One minute you're a kid
Just wishin' you could fly right down life's road
But the years roll, before you know
Growin' up's just gettin' old
[Verse 2]
All the hard work leads to a burnout
Hit the peak and I don't know where to turn now
Had the spotlight shinin' on me, but it's on her now
Gonna pray one day it'll work out, but
[Chorus]
Growin' up is gettin' old
It's wеighin' down on my shoulders
Growin' up, it takes a toll
Tell mе when the hard part's over
One minute you're a kid
Just wishin' you could fly right down life's road
But the years roll, before you know
Growin' up's just gettin' old
[Bridge]
Tell me when the hard part's over
Tell me when the sunshine and roses show up
Nothin' comes easy, I know, but
You know what, you know what
[Chorus]
Growin' up is gettin' old
It's weighin' down on my shoulders
Growin' up, it takes a toll
Tell me when the hard part's over
One minute you're a kid
Just wishin' you could fly right down life's road
But the years roll, before you know
Growin' up's just gettin' old
[Post-Chorus]
Mm, growin' up's just gettin' old
Yeah, growin' up is gettin' old
