Growing Up The Hard Way

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
He don't even know
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
Now no tellin' where you'll end up, boy

And he's got nothing to say
Like he's lost for the worlds
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
He's growing up the hard way
You'd better walk the straight and narrow, yeah
Growing up the hard way
In and out of trouble every day
He's 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
Walk 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
Yeah, growing up the hard way
There ain't no other way
Growing up the hard way
Growing up the hard way
