gettin' old

[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
