Growing Young

you grew up too fast - mississippi's arms could hold you back from being all that you could be
catfish summer - silver moon - and looking for another to share your life and all that you hadn't figured out

when you get that feeling in your lungs - in your lungs
like you could cry out - but you don't - no you don't
it's like being in love - it's like growing young

illinois winter - well it got you down - and the great lakes weren't that great at all
hold on november - i'm not ready for another winter - without a true and tried friendly by my side

when you get that feeling in your bones - in your bones
something comes alive in you when you run - when you run
it's like being alone - it's like growing young

there's a ghost on the piling - of my friend
and he's smiling as the tide rolled in - then he was gone - yeah then he was gone
he said hold onto memories that are true, but don't forget the good times ahead of you - yeah, don't forget the good life ahead of you

when you get that feeling in your lungs - in your lungs
like you could cry out - but you don't - no you don't
it's like being in love - it's like growing young
