Kids Like Me versuri

Kids Like Me lyrics by Noah Thompson

Verse 1
Kids like me, we were sweating in the pews
Praying daddy had money when the light bill was due
But kids like me had to raise ourselves
‘Cause mama was a little too busy out raising hell
Kids like me scraped by with scraped-up knees
Cuss the roots of our family tree
We would swear we was old, going on twenty-three

Chorus
So what we grew up too fast?
So what there ain’t no going back?
It is what it is and that’s just that
I wouldn’t change it, no, I wouldn’t change it
‘Cause that tough love’s like gasoline
Have to kick down doors if we don’t have a key
No, we know how to spray paint brown grass green
All of kids who didn’t get to be kids like me

Verse 2
Well, kids like me went to work ‘fore we went to class
Spent study hall sleeping off a swing shift, busting our ass
Kids like me could complain, but we won’t make you listen
Too busy living to sit around wishing we were anyone else
Anywhere else

Chorus
So what we grew up too fast?
So what there ain’t no going back?
It is what it is and that’s just that
I wouldn’t change it, no, I wouldn’t change it
‘Cause that tough love’s like gasoline
Have to kick down doors if we don’t have a key
No, we know how to spray paint brown grass green
All of kids who didn’t get to be kids like me

Post-Chorus
Oh, oh
Oh

Chorus
So what we grew up too fast?
So what there ain’t no going back?
It is what it is and that’s just that
I wouldn’t change it, no, I wouldn’t change it
‘Cause that tough love’s like gasoline
Have to kick down doors if we don’t have a key
No, we know how to spray paint brown grass green
All of kids who didn’t get to be kids like me

Outro
