All Grown Up

"...I’m not a child anymore,
The years on my skin, my own battles now to win..."

Sittin’ in the window by the back door, the breeze is heavy on my skin

A yellow tablecloth is flappin’, a hint of summer in the wind

I see my Daddy in the garden, I hear the neighbor’s dog a barkin’

My mommas callin’ me for nothing’, this is the place that I grew up in

                I’m all grown up now, I’m not a child anymore

                The years on my skin, my own battles now to win

                I’m all grown up now

Starin’ out the window of the back seat, the rain is steady on the glass

The wipers sing to me a story of lanes I never thought I’d pass

I see my Daddy at the altar, my hands are shakin’ should I falter

I see my Momma walk for hours, they watched me stop and pick the flowers

                I’m all grown up now, I’m not a child anymore

                The years on my skin, my own battles now to win

                I’m all grown up now

And here I stand, heart in my hand

And all the questions in my head

I didn’t know you’d let me go

You finally heard the words I said

                I’m all grown up now, I’m not a child anymore

                The years on my skin, I hold your love deep within

                I’m all grown up now, I’m all grown up
