Grown Up Children

When I was a kid, I played guitar for hours on end

Down in the basement where the radio and records were my friends

My folks didn't like it much, I was breakin' all the rules

'Cause drummin' on the desk and

hummin' to myself wasn't their idea of school

They kept talkin' about grown up children

Playin', singin'

Never doing what they're told

Grown up children

Actin' like they'll never grow old

Though I was underage, I joined the band at the local bar

Pretty soon we hit the road as the warm-up for some fading star

And they said, "now keep the set short, don't play that so loud"

So we plugged our guitars in and turned them up to ten

And jumped right into the crowd

'Cause we were just grown up children

Playin', singin'

Never doing what they're told

Grown up children

Actin' like they'll never grow old

It's good work if you can get it

'Cause you don't have to act your age

In real life, I'm known as a family man

But tonight, I'm a kid on the stage

One of those grown up children

Playin', singin'

Never doing what they're told

Grown up children

Actin' like they'll never grow old

Grown up children

Playin', singin'

Never doing what they're told

Grown up children

Actin' like they'll never grow old

Grown up children

Playin', singin'

Never doing what they're told

Grown up children

Actin' like they'll never grow old
