Grow Up To Be You

I don't want you growing up to be me
Givin' everything to chase my dreams
You don't have to worry yet
I can hold you close
When she throws away your teenage heart
When you passed the test but crashed the car
Big boys ought to cry sometimes
It's okay if you do

If you need me
I'm here
Just gonna love you
The best that I can
And if you call me
Four AM
I'll be there
I'll be right there

So go and take this world apart
'Cause I know you'll do it
With your momma's heart
And all that I ask is don't grow up to be me
Grow up to be you

I'll know that I'll catch you stealing liquour from me
'Cause I remember doing the same at 16
Wake you on the bathroom floor
Make sure you're alright

'Cause when you need me
I'm here
When you get in trouble
I'll steer you clear
And when you call me
For a lift home
I'll be there
I'll be right there

So go and take this world apart
'Cause I know you'll do it
With your momma's heart
And all that I ask is don't grow up to be me
Grow up to be you

If you get lost among the stars
Don't forget you've always got your momma's heart
And I don't wanna push you
Whatever you do
Grow up to be you

Now there's a reason and a rhyme for most things
But you should try to find your own in everything
And take your time
There's no rush to grow up

So go and take this world apart
'Cause I know you'll do it
With your momma's heart
And all that I ask is don't grow up to be me
Grow up to be you

And if you get lost among the stars
Don't forget you've always got your momma's heart
I don't wanna push you
Whatever you do
Grow up to be you
No, I don't want to push you
Whatever you do
Grow up to be you
