As I grew up through the years
I always yearned to be a good man
Could not wait for 18
They say a legal man
That’s what I’ll be
Yet in heart I am still a boy

As I pass the teenage years
I was still learning to be that man
Could not wait for 21
They say that’s the time
For all to have fun
Yet in heart I am still a boy

As I passed the years of fun
I’m still learning to be an adult
Time to settle down
And find the one
They say she’ll help me find my way
Yet in heart I am still a boy

As I pass through married years
I am working on being a grown man
Now with kids
I am glad to have
They say they’ll love me and help me grow
Yet in heart I am still a boy

As the kids grow up I feel their cheers
I’ve learned what it is to be a man
I am responsible
I pay the bills
They say stop yearning for the thrills
Yet in heart I am still a boy

As I approach middle age
I’ve learned with my kids
And I have to say
Being youthful is my way
They say it’s time to grow up
Stop being a man child
But this is who I am
I love being wild
Yet deep down I am a MAN

nice!
