Grow Up Slow Lyrics

I came out of the womb with my engine running

Like my past life still had to prove something

Trippin' in my mama's shoes down the hall

Granddaddy would always stop me in my tracks and say "why do you act like that?

It won't be long before you're big and tall

So why don't you enjoy being small?"

Now am I falling behind?

Or just taking my time?

Cause no matter how hard I try my ducks just won't get in a row

So I guess I'll enjoy the scenery between my milestones

And grow up

Slow

Grow up slow

Now all my friends are having babies buying houses and becoming wives

And I'm so proud of them but it makes me feel so stuck in my life

But why am I trying to measure up to these dreams that aren't mine?

Why are we running to finish our bucket list before we're 29?

Now am I falling behind?

Or just taking my time?

Cause no matter how hard I try my ducks just won't get in a row

So I guess I'll enjoy the scenery between my milestones

And grow up

Slow

Grow up slow

And I ain't crushin' it

But I ain't rushin' it

And I think I'll be better off because of it

And I think my Grandaddy would be happy to know

That I'm growing up slow

Slow

Slow

Slow

Slow

Slow
