life aint what it seems
when you are on the other side
you are grown now
so you cant run and hide

nope mama and daddy cant help you
this is the path you choose
so you gotta make it do what it do.

the choices we make in life
sure can last a lifetime
so be careful young brother
or you will end up on the corner drinkin Wild Rose Wine

i cant tell you what to do
because you dont listen
but home is soon what you will be missing
i told you one that the grass is not greener on the other side
so once you get out there its gonna be for you to decide
because its hard out here once youre on ya own

being grown aint all its cracked up to be
its full of bills and responsibility
but i will tell you this one thing...
keep living smart ass and you will start to feel me
