Şarkı sözleri

Second day of third grade
At Three Oaks Elementary
She sat in the first row
I was all the way across the room
It might as well have been the far side of the moon
I had to get her attention
She wouldn't look at me
I waited for the bell to ring
And when we went outside for recess
I put a cricket down the backside of her dress
I had to take a note home
Mama spanked my butt
Daddy hugged me, "Son, that's part of growing up"
You live and learn to give and take
When to use your strength
And when you need a gentle touch
Sometimes it takes patience
Sometimes a greater store of love
You learn it growing up
Andy was my best friend
All the way through high school
We couldn't wait for Friday night
We'd chip in change for gas in his car and roll
One night I was grounded
So he went out on his own
Two o'clock in the morning
And I'd just gotten to sleep
Mama took the call and woke me
She told me that was Andy's daddy on the phone
Andy couldn't make that hairpin curve on Levee Road
And you know he loved to run hard
He rarely buckled up
Mama held me while I cried when I was growing up
You live and learn to give and take
When to pray for strength
When understanding's not enough
You have to look life in the eye
Even when that road gets rough
It's not easy growing up
I can't forget the day
She called me home from work
"The pains are getting closer," she said
"Hon, don't panic, but it's time to go"
We named him Andy for a friend I used to know
And it hit me just this morning
I dropped him off at school
No great revelation
I just bowed my head and thanked the Lord for all I've got
Little league and family picnics in the park
And all our folks are doing well
The circle's filling up
I treasure every moment I'm still growing up
You live and learn to give and take
Always trying to do your best
And hope that it's enough
And if you don't lose the faith
You'll always find the love
It's all part of growing up (It's all part of growing up)
