Growing up the Hardway - Foreigner

He’s got nothing to say, he’s got no excuse

He’s just made that way, and he’s gonna stay that way

Like a dog on the loose in a firework display, in a world of his own

No, no, no, he won’t back down or go running back home

He’s come a long way in life

He’s got a long way to go And he don’t even know, but he don’t care because

He’s growing up the hard way

In and out of trouble every day

He’s growing up the hard way

No tellin’where you’ll end up, boy

He’s got nothing to say, like he’s lost for words, his mind’s in a daze

That’s his way, it’s just a little game he plays

He’s got nowhere to run, while the city sleeps he wanders alone

Cuttin’through the steel and the hearts of stone

He’s come a long way in life

He’s got a long way to go He don’t even know, but he don’t care because

He’s growing up the hard way

In and out of trouble every day

Growing up the hard way

You’d better walk the straight and narrow

Growing up the hard way

In and out of trouble every day

Growing up the hard way

Never know what you’re in for, boy

He’s come a long way in life

He’s got a long way to go He don’t wanna know, and he don’t care because

He’s growing up the hard way

In and out of trouble every day

He’s growing up the hard way

Yeah-and he’s gonna stay that way

You see, he’s growing up the hard way

Wlak the straight and narrow, yeah, maybe someday

But still he’s growing up the hard way

It’s just the way he’s grown up He’s growing up the hard way

There ain’t no other way

Growing up the hard way
