The Guy I'm Growing Up To Be
There was this kid
Who never worried that his
Dreams were too big
All he knew was life was
Meant to be lived
And that's what he did
He had music and fun
He drove his Karmann Ghia
Into the sun
You'd find him marching to
The beat of his drum
No matter what might come
I lost him for a while
Forgot what gave that kid his smile
I let the winding years and miles
Take too much
His heart still beats in me
And he's not scared of anything
The guy I'm growing up to be
Looks a lot like me at seventeen
Now don't get me wrong
I know that growing older
Means moving on
We rush our glory days
Then grieve when they're gone
Like they're a Springsteen song
But when I look back
I see somebody who would
Jump at the chance
To love and live and give
It all that he has
I wanna be like that
I lost him for a while
Forgot what gave that kid his smile
I let the winding years and miles
Take too much
His heart still beats in me
And he's not scared of anything
The guy I'm growing up to be
Looks a lot like me at seventeen
I lost him for a while
Forgot what gave that kid his smile
I let the winding years and miles
Take too much
His heart still beats in me
And he's not scared of anything
The guy I'm growing up to be
Looks a lot like me at seventeen
There was this kid
Who never worried that his
Dreams were too big
All he knew was life was
Meant to be lived
And that's what he did
Who never worried that his
Dreams were too big
All he knew was life was
Meant to be lived
And that's what he did
He had music and fun
He drove his Karmann Ghia
Into the sun
You'd find him marching to
The beat of his drum
No matter what might come
I lost him for a while
Forgot what gave that kid his smile
I let the winding years and miles
Take too much
His heart still beats in me
And he's not scared of anything
The guy I'm growing up to be
Looks a lot like me at seventeen
Now don't get me wrong
I know that growing older
Means moving on
We rush our glory days
Then grieve when they're gone
Like they're a Springsteen song
But when I look back
I see somebody who would
Jump at the chance
To love and live and give
It all that he has
I wanna be like that
I lost him for a while
Forgot what gave that kid his smile
I let the winding years and miles
Take too much
His heart still beats in me
And he's not scared of anything
The guy I'm growing up to be
Looks a lot like me at seventeen
I lost him for a while
Forgot what gave that kid his smile
I let the winding years and miles
Take too much
His heart still beats in me
And he's not scared of anything
The guy I'm growing up to be
Looks a lot like me at seventeen
There was this kid
Who never worried that his
Dreams were too big
All he knew was life was
Meant to be lived
And that's what he did
