Lyrics Growing Pains - Acoustic - Classified

Mmmm
Getting all these thoughts in my head
Cause I know that things will change
Yeah I know that things will change
Getting all these thoughts in my head, head
Cause tomorrow won't be the same
Cause tomorrow won't be the same

Yeah, I pull up to the traffic light, red light, coasting
Glance in the rear view as your eyelids slowly closing
Adjust the radio turn it lower and let the song play
Slowly go to sleep, get some rest it's been a long day
I don't need too much I just want to make my kids proud
Wishing that our life can stay as peaceful as it is now
Nothing stays the same though, day in to day out
The forecast changes so you gotta keep your raincoat close
I hope that you and your sister
Can work through the bruises and blisters
The sibling rivalry is when you argue and bicker
Lot of joy, a lot of pain
You'll go through what I went through with, uh
Ain't nothing to it if you keep your family rooted, uh
Don't grow up too quick
Enjoy the freedom when you're young before you lose it
You already trying to tell me that you're a big girl
I'm scared as hell to let my little baby grow up in this big world
I will be asking, where you're going?
Who's your friends? What you up to?
Over protective but that don't mean that I don't trust you
I just don't trust everybody you go party with
I've been in your position baby girl I know how hard it is

I'm getting all these thoughts in my head
Cause I know that things will change
Yeah I know that things will change
Getting all these thoughts in my head
Cause tomorrow won't be the same
Cause tomorrow won't be the same

Yeah, and I know that you won't agree with my rules
Probably around the time you attending high school
I'll tell ya don't smoke, don't drink, or buy booze
You'll say that I'm a hypocrite 'cause I do it and get high too
But do you really wanna look and feel like I do?
At your age you don't want to walk in my shoes
Get up your marks, get up your smarts, get up your IQ
The real party it don't start until after high school
So don't stress who's popular and best dressed
Forget the peer pressure, ain't no one to impress
Besides everyone in high school who seem cool
That's it, they usually never see these dreams through
There's so many right and wrongs when you raise a kid
I just want that father and daughter relationship
And I know in time, that we'll argue and you'll hate me
But I pray to God you'll thank me
Like dad I'm glad you raised me

I'm getting all these thoughts in my head
Cause I know that things will change
Yeah I know that things will change (Things are gonna change)
I'm getting all these thoughts in my head
Cause tomorrow won't be the same
Cause tomorrow won't be the same
