lyrics

Kids (keating/mayone)

They ask so many questions you just can't keep up
They got no idea you're making it up
Just to placate them for a moment of peace
And if you berate them you get none at least

And then they grow up make you feel old
Leave all their stuff get mad when it's sold

You like to hear that they take after you
Especially when you like what they do
That apple don't fall too far from the tree
But this one is rolling away from me

Kids they grow up make you feel old
The look on their face says more than is told
Kids they grow up even when they don't
Won't do what you say but they will what you won't

So you try to teach them what you need to learn
But you'll never reach them until it's their turn
This road of hard knocks is littered with bones
And you want to protect them keep them close to home

But kids they grow up still call you dad
Calling you up when they're feeling bad
Kids they grow up live their own lives
Then if you're lucky enough they're there when you die

Hard to pick a fave from this record but gun to my head I'd have to say In the Stars for the Brian Wilson vibe and most excellent vocals. chrometop
