James Johnston - GROWING UP Lyrics

We had no money, but we drove all night
Headin' to the coast, her hand in mine
And we spent all summer by the water under the sun
Yeah, we drank cheap wine in the back of a truck
Talked about dreams and where we'd end up
We were fallin' in love, man, I thought that she was the one

But that song started to fade so we turned it around
It was hard back then, but I say now

It's part of growing up
Fallin' in and out of love
Runnin' 'til you run out of luck
Yeah, sometimes it gets rough but
It's part of growing up
Learnin' to stand up tall
When you get knocked down and you fall
No, it ain't always easy but
It's part of growing up

It was just another single night out on the town
But a smile 'cross the bar turned my life around
And it didn't take long 'til I was gettin' down on my knee
Yeah, a white dress, a church and the words I do
A promise that I will grow old with you
I'll take the ups and downs as long as you're there with me

It's part of growing up
Findin' the one you love
Yeah, it takes a little luck
Hell, sometimes it gets rough but
It's part of growing up
Learnin' to stand up tall
When you get knocked down and you fall
No, it ain't always easy but
It's part of growing up
It's part of growing up

Little boy lookin' up at me, tear in his eyes
Said he's given up after crashin' his bike
But boy

It's part of growing up
Yeah, you'll get some bruises and cuts
But that's what makes you tough, yeah
Know it seems little rough but
It's just part of growing up
Learnin' to stand up tall
When you get knocked down and you fall
No, it ain't always easy but
It's part of growing up
It's part of growing up
It's part of growing up
