A few months back
I was holding my momma's hand
She was watching her momma pass
saying "No, not again"
When dad's test came back
I was falling for a real good man
till it started falling flat
They say growing up's fun
Where's the fun in that
Growing up is getting old
It's weighing down on my shoulders
Growing up, it takes a toll
Tell me when the hard part's over
One minute you're a kid
Just wishing you could fly right down life's road
But the years roll before you know
Growing up's just getting old
All the hard work leads to a burnout
Hit the peak, and I don't know where to turn now
Had the spotlight shining on me, but it's on her now
Gonna pray one day it'll work out, but
Growing up is getting old
It's weighing down on my shoulders
Growing up, it takes a toll
Tell me when the hard part's over
One minute you're a kid
Just wishing you could fly right down life's road
But the years roll before you know
Growing up's just getting old
Tell me when the hard part's over
Tell me when the sunshine and roses show up
Nothing comes easy, I know, but
You know what
You know what
Growing up is getting old
It's weighing down on my shoulders
Growing up, it takes a toll
Tell me when the hard part's over
One minute you're a kid
Just wishing you could fly right down life's road
But the years roll before you know
Growing up's just getting old
Growing up's just getting old
Growing up's just getting old
