| 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’s come a long way in life
|
| He’s got a long way to go And he don’t even know, but he don’t care because
|
| He’s growing up the hard way
|
| In and out of trouble every day
|
| He’s growing up the hard way
|
| No tellin’where you’ll end up, boy
|
| He’s got nothing to say, like he’s lost for words, his mind’s 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, but he don’t care because
|
| He’s growing up the hard way
|
| In and out of trouble every day
|
| Growing up the hard way
|
| You’d better walk the straight and narrow
|
| Growing up the hard way
|
| In and out of trouble every day
|
| Growing up the hard way
|
| Never know what you’re in for, boy
|
| 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
|
| In and out of trouble every day
|
| He’s growing up the hard way
|
| Yeah-and he’s gonna stay that way
|
| You see, he’s growing up the hard way
|
| Wlak 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 He’s growing up the hard way
|
| There ain’t no other way
|
| Growing up the hard way |
