Part of Growing Up

[Verse 1]
I used to crave ice-cold Coke in the summertime
It went so good with that hot sun
But these days I'd rather drink beer and catch a buzz
I guess that's part of growin' up
Boy, that thrill with a bunch of friends and a bunch of bikes
Died the day I turned sixteen
Turned into chasin' pretty girls in a pickup truck
I guess that's part of growin' up

[Chorus]
Some doors have opened, more have shut
And I've had some dreams that turned to dust
Yeah, life has hit me just because it can with heavy hands
But that's all part of growin' up

[Verse 2]
Jessica was my first kiss and that was enough
Until we started makin' love
I don't really remember why it ended, but it cut
The painful part of growin' up

[Chorus]
Some doors have opened, more have shut
And I've had some dreams that turned to dust
Yeah, life has hit me just because it can with heavy hands
But that's all part of growin' up
It's all part of growin' up

[Verse 3]
My face is showing some years, my body's feelin' rust
But in my mind, I'm still young
I guess until I'm pushin' up daisies I'll be pushin' my luck
And I'll always be growin' up
