You Got Growin Up To Do (feat. Patty Griffin)

I've been down this road before

I walk out the door

Leave you on the floor

Sometimes you run and hide

Your foolish pride's what keeps me from giving you more

So the best thing I can give to you is for me to go

Leave you alone

'Cause you got growing up to do

Some day I'll return when it's time for payment in kind

The churchbells will chime

You'll stand before me surrounded by lights

Dressed in white

You'll throw flowers in the air this night

But the best thing I can give to you is for me to go

Leave you alone

You got growing up to do

It looks like the rain is pouring down on me

It's drowning me now and all I want is to come back home

And this old corduroy coat is not keeping me dry

But I can't think of what else to try

That's why the best thing I can give to you is for me to go

Leave you alone

You got growing up to do

Yeah

The best thing I can give to you is for me to go

Leave you alone

You got growing up to do
