Part of Growing Up

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I used to crave ice-cold Coke in the summertime It went so good with that hot sun But these days I'd rather drink beer and catch a buzz I guess that's part of growin' up Boy, that thrill with a bunch of friends and a bunch of bikes Died the day I turned sixteen Turned into chasin' pretty girls in a pickup truck I guess that's part of growin' up [Chorus] Some doors have opened, more have shut And I've had some dreams that turned to dust Yeah, life has hit me just because it can with heavy hands But that's all part of growin' up [Verse 2] Jessica was my first kiss and that was enough Until we started makin' love I don't really remember why it ended, but it cut The painful part of growin' up [Chorus] Some doors have opened, more have shut And I've had some dreams that turned to dust Yeah, life has hit me just because it can with heavy hands But that's all part of growin' up It's all part of growin' up [Verse 3] My face is showing some years, my body's feelin' rust But in my mind, I'm still young I guess until I'm pushin' up daisies I'll be pushin' my luck And I'll always be growin' up
