Well, well Hey little boy you're not allowed to stay You have to evolve inevitably And I've sure come a long way The road up ahead is so unclear Back slidin' down the bottom of beer Nobody knew if I would make it here And hey sweet music set me free From the statistic that I started to be I wish my mama was alive to see The memories of the pain have scarred And when I fall it's usually hard But I get up and keep followin' God Hey, I'm gettin' grown, gettin' grown (La la la la la, la la la la la) Gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown hey (La la la la la, la la la la la) Now I remember the good ol' days Broads and boxes and blunts to blaze Now I got three children to raise I-I-I never won't be perfect I know But workin' on it is worth it I know Life is just learning as you go Been selfish once or twice I had to learn how to sacrifice To live to my late nineties'd be nice Every day that goes by I find It either hits me or it robs me blind God I owe You this life of mine I'm gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown (La la la la la, la la la la la) Gettin' grown, gettin' grown (La la la la la, la la la la la) Ooh, time changed but it feels the same There's no tellin' what tomorrow will bring Even if I could I wouldn't change a thang And hey hey, Lord I know I'm not here to stay But thanks for wakin' me up today Prepare me for what may come my way And hey say, young man, there's no need to cry Because I know you will get by Look your destiny in the eye Ooh everyday my heart burns to try You got to walk before you learn to fly And we all got to earn to die I'm gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown (La la la la la, la la la la la) Gettin' grown, gettin' grown (La la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown (La la la la la, la la la la la) Gettin' grown, gettin' grown (La la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown, I'm gettin' grown (La la la la la, la la la la la) Gettin' grown, gettin' grown (La la la la la, la la la la la)
