Downside Of Growing Up

Pack your bags and hug your mom
Been dreaming 'bout leaving for so long
You start to cry as you crank the truck
Yeah, that's the downside to growing up
You're fixing up your brand new place
First day in, something breaks
And Dad ain't there to get you unstuck
Yeah, that's the downside to growing up
But that's alright, that's okay
It's just the way you find your way
It's a road you gotta take to get where you're going
And you're gonna twist, you're gonna turn
But it's how you're gonna learn
A lot about life, a lot about love
On the downside of growing up
It starts out as a single date
Before too long, he's your everything
Until he leaves you standing in a cloud of dust
Yeah, that's the downside of growing up
But that's alright, that's okay
It's just the way you find your way
It's a road you gotta take to get where you're going
And you're gonna twist, you're gonna turn
But it's how you're gonna learn
A lot about life, a lot about love
On the downside of growing up
I know what you're feeling
Yeah, I understand
'Cause where you are is where I've been
And where I still am
And I'm alright, I'm okay
Yeah, I know I'll find my way
On the road I gotta take to get where I'm going
And I'm gonna twist, I'm gonna turn
But it's how I'm gonna learn
A lot about life, a lot about love
On the downside of growing up
A lot about life, a lot about love
On the downside of growing up, oh yeah
