From the recording All Grown Up

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I’m all grown up now, it seems
5 months is 5 years clean
Went from closin down bars
to closin Dairy Queens
I’m all grown up now, it seems

I still play every now & then, I guess
But don’t make time enough, to write the stuff
that’s weighing on my chest
Went to chasin validation
over chasin crazy dreams
I’m all grown up now, it seems

(Chorus 1)
Swear to God I couldn’t wait till
“can’t tell me what to do”
Right now I wouldn’t mind
that peace of mind
Yet, the more I yearn for yesterday
the more years get put between
I’m all grown up now, it seems

(Verse 2)
Don’t see my boys, like I did
Hell they all got 4 or 5 kids
Went from dodging every girl dad
to a nursery full of pink
We’re all grown up now it seems

(Chorus 2)
Swear to God we couldn’t wait till
“can’t tell us what to do”
Right now I wouldn’t mind
turning back the time
Don’t think we were ever innocent
maybe a bit naive
But I’m all grown up now it seems

(Bridge)
My last Christmas was my last with mom
Said goodbye while the stockings hung
Sang Marina Del Rey, as she drifted off to be
I’m all grown up now, it seems

(Final Chorus / Outro)
Swear to God I couldn’t wait till “can’t tell me what to do”
But right now I wouldn’t mind your piece of mind
I been toughin this thing out, holdin it together by a string
Cuz I’m all grown up now, it seems
Don’t worry abt me mama, there’s enough of you in me
I’m all grown up now, you see.
