Текст песни Growing-Up - Dawn Penn

Growin' up it wasn't easy
It wasn't easy at all
Growin' up it wasn't easy
It wasn't easy at all

I feel the city breathin' in and out
Downtown New York, New York
The sun sets on the west side
The sun rises on the east side
I'm in the mood for a long ride
I've got my chauffeur outside
Take me back to my place of birth
Since I've traveled all around the earth
I've found tequila when I've chased the law
Over percussion, piano and a bass guitar
And we prepare the children just in case for war
Now we confront everything we erase before

Don't hide from the truth
Why would you attempt to try?
It's bigger than fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
It's time to huddle up, saddle up and off we go
It's bigger than rain in Faso

Growin' up it wasn't easy
It wasn't easy at all
Growin' up it wasn't easy
It wasn't easy at all

I had to fight for everything I had
You can't relate to good things unless you've gone through bad
You've got to hold onto what you've got
The haves nothing have nothing but the haves have not

Growin' up it wasn't easy
It wasn't easy at all
Growin' up it wasn't easy
It wasn't easy at all

I heard your voice on the radio, radio
I've seen your face on the video, video
But why you come off so silly though, silly though?
I often wonder if you really know, really know
I keep my thoughts way above the sky
I've seen bad men come, I've seen bad men die
I've seen little girls live above their means
And still don't take word of what I see

Growin' up it wasn't easy
It wasn't easy at all
Growin' up it wasn't easy
It wasn't easy at all
