There's a dog in the yard, picket fences around
A covered front porch on a white frame house
Ford in the drive is a few payments short of paid off
The baby boy down the hall turns one next week
I know everybody on Sesame Street
The boys I raised hell with back then would have never thought
But now the, the sunset's a little bit sweeter
The grass grows a little bit greener
I am who I am, but you make me who I wanna be
A little lеss wide open, a little morе sober
Life moves fast, so I try to take it slower
Growin' older with you is slowly changin' me
From a chip on my shoulder into a heart on my sleeve
I'm an expert now on high chairs and car seats
The mom you've become knocks me off my feet
I'm findin' myself on my knees a lot more these days
When he takes his first steps, it'll bring a tear to my eye
His first day of school, I'll hold your hand when you cry
There was a time that I never saw myself this way
But now the, the sunset's a little bit sweeter
The grass grows a little bit greener
I am who I am, but you make me who I wanna be
A little less wide open, a little more sober
Life moves fast, so I try to take it slower
Growin' older with you is slowly changin' me
From a chip on my shoulder into a heart on my sleeve
Growin' older with you is slowly changin' me
From a chip on my shoulder into a heart on my sleeve
