lyrics

I poured my heart out
And it spilled on the street
Forming a big puddle
That no one would meet
Except automobiles
And bicycle wheels too
So many traveling away from me
Leaving me blue
CHORUS
All through my life
I’ve done this (sad) dance
(With no one)
That I call the grown man
It doesn’t have a lot of steps
(No, no, no)
In fact, all you’ve got to do is stand
On your own two feet
Now that’s the grown man
The rain gives life
To flowers and rust
The sun seeps through
In a stream of dust
I walk through that dust
Pave my way each day
Pouring my heart out
Like cement on this lonely highway
CHORUS
Let me tell you how to do it now
All you’ve got to do is stand strong
Just do it true
You won’t do it wrong
People try to knock you down
Got to get up down
Like a champion
Before the referee counts to ten
You’re doing the grown man…
