Grown Up Children

JOHN JOSEPH HALL, LARRY LEWIS HOPPEN

When I was a kid
I played guitar for hours on end
Down in the basement where the radio
And records were my friends
My folks didn't like it much
I was breakin' all the rules
'Cause drummin' on the desk and hummin' to
Myself wasn't their idea of school

They kept talkin' about grown up children
Playin', singin'
Never doing what they're told
Grown up children
Actin' like they'll never grow old

Though I was underage
I joined the band at the local bar
Pretty soon we hit the road as
The warm-up for some fading star
And they said, "now keep the set short
Don't play that so loud"
So we plugged our guitars in and
Turned them up to ten
And jumped right into the crowd

'Cause we were just grown up children
Playin', singin'
Never doing what they're told
Grown up children
Actin' like they'll never grow old

It's good work if you can get it
'Cause you don't have to act your age
In real life, I'm known as a family man
But tonight, I'm a kid on the stage

One of those grown up
