Boys Growing Up

Mama's talked to Jesus a lot about boys growing up
And the Junkyards do a lot of business from the 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
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 falling down, learning how
To pick ourselves up off the ground
You know a man's got to be tough
Well, 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 swing for the fences, a lot of striking out
Lot of breakups, makeups, and coming back arounds
The next thing we know, we're are 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 falling down, learning how
To pick ourselves up off the ground
You know a man's got to be tough
Well, don't mind us
We're just boys growing up
Just boys growing up

Mama's talked to Jesus a lot about their boys growing up
And the Junkyards 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 falling down, learning how
To pick ourselves up off the ground
You know a man's got to be tough
Well, don't mind us
We're just boys growing up
We're just boys growing up, mm
