Boys Growing Up

Mamas talk to Jesus a lot about boys growing up
And the junkyard's doing lot of business from boys growing up
When the girls become women they don't waste any time
While we're playing in the dirt they're rolling their eyes
But they still keep on falling for them boys growing up

The toys get faster
The drinks get stronger
The skin gets thicker and
The shadows get longer
We're still fallin' down
Learnin' how to pick ourselves up off the ground
You know a man's gotta be tough
Don't mind us
We're just boys growing up

A lot of broken hearts get blamed on boys growing up
And a lot of diamond rings get bought by boys growing up
A lot of swingin' for the fences
A lot of strikin' out
Lot of breakups, makeups, and coming back arounds
Next thing we know, we're watching our boys growing up

The toys get faster
The drinks get stronger
The skin gets thicker and
The shadows get longer
We're still fallin' down
Learnin' how to pick ourselves up off the ground
You know a man's gotta be tough
Well, don't mind us
We're just boys growing up
Just boys growing up

Mamas talk to Jesus a lot about their boys growing up
And the junkyard's still doing a lot of business
From the boys growing up

The toys get faster
The drinks get stronger
The skin gets thicker and
The shadows get longer
We're still fallin' down
Learnin' how to pick ourselves up off the ground
You know a man's gotta be tough
Well, don't mind us
We're just boys growing up

We're just boys growing up
