Words & Music by

Ed Bruce and Phil O'Donnell





Second day of third grade, Three Oaks Elementary

She sat in the first row, I was all the way across the room

It might as well have been the far side of the moon

I had to get her attention, she wouldn't look at me

I waited for the bell to ring, and when we went outside for recess

I put a cricket down the backside of her dress

Had to take a note home, Mama spanked my butt

Daddy hugged me, "Son, that's part of growing up"



You live and learn to give and take

When to use your strength

And when you need a gentle touch

Sometimes it takes patience

Sometimes a greater store of love

You learn it growing up



Andy was my best friend, all the way through high school

We couldn't wait for Friday night

We'd chip in change for gas in his car and roam

One night I was grounded so he went out on his own

Two o'clock in the morning, I'd just gotten to sleep

Mama took the call and woke me

"That was Andy's Daddy on the phone"

Andy missed that hairpin curve on Levee Road

Andy loved to run hard, he never buckled up

Mama held me when I cried growing up



You live and learn to give and take

When to pray for strength

When understanding's not enough

Look life in the eye

Even when the road gets rough

It's not easy growing up



I can't forget the day she called me home from work

The pains were getting closer

She said, "Hon, don't panic, but it's time to go"

We named him "Andy" for a friend I used to know

It hit me just this morning, I dropped him off at school

No great revelation

I bowed my head and thanked the Lord for all I've got

Little league and family picnics in the park

Both our folks are doing well, the circle's filling out

I treasure every moment; I'm still growing up



You live and learn to give and take

Always try to do your best

And hope that it's enough

If you don't lose the faith

You'll always find the love

It's all part of growing up

Other Ed Bruce song Lyrics
  • After All
    "There's a parking lot where the corner cafe stood
    One of the places we first fell in love
    They've built a waterslide on the bluff by the riverside
    Where we first fumbled our way into love..."
  • Blue Bayou
    "I feel so bad I've got a worried mind I'm so lonesome all the time
    Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou
    Saving nickels and saving dimes working till the sun don't shine
    Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou..."
  • Girls, Women And Ladies
    "There was only me and her and him
    The bar was giving last call so I thought I'd move on in
    And I was slick and feeling like a man so I took the stool between 'em
    And ordered one more round for me and her and him..."
  • Give More Than You Take
    "If you wanna keep a love young always show her that you care
    Call her through the day to say you love her always thinking of her
    Give her just a little more love than you take
    If you sometimes seem to hurt her then you mustn't let love die..."
  • Her Sweet Love And The Baby
    "Soft rain kissing the fallen leaves night wind harmonizing with whispering trees
    Of pretty sounds I've heard the sweetest I think maybe
    Is when she sings to the baby
    I look around at riches by which some men measure..."
  • I Know Better
    "I could tell you that it don't hurt you're leavin' me
    And I could say it never really matter the way you've always treated me
    Baby I could lie to you some more and say I won't cry when you walk out back door
    But I know better..."
  • If I Could Just Go Home
    "Oh Lord if I could just go home I'd do things different from now on
    There wouldn't be near the gray in my old daddy's hair
    Oh Lord if I could just go home
    I know it wasn't daddy's fault that mama died when I was just a kid..."
  • Last Cowboy Song
    "This is the last cowboy song the end of a hundred year waltz
    Voices sound sad as they're singing along another piece of America's lost
    He rides a feed lot and clerks in a market on weekends selling tobacco and beer
    His dreams of tomorrow surrounded by fences..."
