Growing Pains Lyrics

Little town in East Texas

Low income, high spirits

Smiling in my size four cowgirl boots

Struttin' down run down Main Street

No worries, bootcut jeans

Every teenage year I was romanticizing

But I've been thinking about years ahead

How no one warns you for when it ends

And you blink and you're no longer sleeping in a twin bed

You're losing sleep instead

Now I've got growing pains

And my mom won't be there to rub my back

When I get growing pains

And dad can't carry me to bed

Growing pains

I don't wanna see my best friend and say

It's been too long since we've last spoken

It's just the beginning of all these growing pains

Well that fixer upper went on the market

Took a cross country trip

Lost the southern accent

No one told me that growing up is

Friday nights with nowhere to be

And crying sizing up in jeans

No kids table

Thinking about grown up things

I've never been this old before

I always thought that I'd be more

But I've got growing pains

And my mom won't be there to rub my back

When I get growing pains

And dad can't carry me to bed

Growing pains

I don't wanna see my best friend and say

It's been too long since we've last spoken

It's just the beginning of all these growing pains

I didn't plan for this

I didn't think I'd be alive

almost eighteen and never been so terrified

And when I can't do it myself

Will anyone make the drive?

I'm looking in the mirror in a cap and gown for the first time

And I've got growing pains

And my mom won't be there to help me pack

When I get growing pains

And my dash lights up and I can't call dad

Growing pains

I hated every day of high school

But looking back, was it even that awful

Growing pains

Will I make a life? Will it all work out?

Growing pains

Leaving love behind, getting out of my shell

Growing pains

I hate that everything must end

Growing pains

Getting older every second I spend worrying about growing pains

Growing pains

Growing pains

Growing pains
