Текст песни Growing Up The Hardway - Foreigner

He′s got nothing to say, he's got no excuse
He′s just made that way and he's gonna stay that way
Like a dog on the loose in a firework display, in a world of his own
No, no, no, he won't back down or go running back home

He′d come a long way in life
He′s got a long way to go
He don't even know, he don′t care because

He's growing up the hard way
In and out of trouble every day, hey
Growing up the hard way
Now there′s no tellin' where you′ll end up, boy

He's got nothing to say
Like he's lost for words, his mind in a daze
That′s his way, it′s just a little game he plays
He's got nowhere to run while the city sleeps
He wanders alone
Cuttin′ through the steel and the hearts of stone

He's come a long way in life
He′s got a long way to go
He don't even know and he don′t care because

He's growing up the hard way
In and out of trouble every day
Growing up the hard way (oh-oh)
You'd better walk the straight and narrow, yeah (oh-oh)

Growing up the hard way (oh-oh)
In and out of trouble every day (oh-oh)
Growing up the hard way
Never know what you′re in for, boy (oh-oh)

He′s come a long way in life
He's got a long way to go
He don′t wanna know and he don't care because

He′s growing up the hard way (oh-oh)
In and out of trouble every day
He's growing up the hard way (oh-oh)
Yeah, and he′s gonna stay that way (oh-oh)

You see, he's growing up the hard way (oh-ooh)
Walk the straight and narrow, yeah
Maybe someday, but still, he's growing up the hard way
It′s just the way he′s grown up, yeah
Growing up the hard way (oh-oh)
There ain't no other way (oh-oh)
Growing up the hard way (oh-oh)
