Boys Growing Up

[Intro]

Oh, I'm sorry

Okay sorry go ahead

[Verse 1]

Mamas talk to Jesus a lot about boys growin' up

And the junkyards do a lot of business from boys growin' up

When the girls become women, they don't waste any time

While we're playin' in the dirt, they're just rollin' their eyes

They still keep on fallin' for the boys growin' up

[Chorus]

The toys get faster, drinks get stronger

Skin gets thicker and the shadows get longer

We're still fallin' down learnin' how to pick ourselves up off the ground

You know a man's gotta be tough

Well, don't mind us

We're just boys growin' up

[Verse 2]

A lot of broken hearts get blamed on boys growin' up

And a lot of diamond rings get bought by boys growin' up

A lot of swingin' for the fences, a lot of strikin' out

A lot of break ups, make-ups, and coming back arounds

Next thing we know, we're watchin' our boys growin' up

[Chorus]

The toys get faster, drinks get stronger

Skin gets thicker and the shadows get longer

We're still fallin' down learnin' how to pick ourselves up off the ground

You know a man's gotta be tough

Well, don't mind us

We're just boys growin' up

Just boys growin' up

[Bridge]

Well, mamas talk to Jesus a lot about their boys growin' up

And the junkyard's still doing a lot of business from the boys growin' up

[Chorus]

The toys get faster, drinks get stronger

Skin gets thicker and the shadows get longer

We're still fallin' down learnin' how to pick ourselves up off the ground

You know a man's gotta be tough

But don't mind us

We're just boys growin' up

Just boys growin' up
