Now I'm older Late nights driving Down these empty streets Windows down, music loud Feeling bittersweet Flashbacks to the talks Where they tried to guide my way Now I'm in the same shoes, man It's funny how it plays Growing pains, yeah They hit you when you least expect Learning that Your parents had your back It's all respect Late night drives, yeah I'm feeling like I'm in my zone Understanding why they worked So hard, just to make a home Growing pains, it's a lesson That we all go through Looking back, I see The things I never thought I'd do Late night drives I'm just trying to find my peace Maturing every day Learning life's a masterpiece Used to roll my eyes When they'd tell me how to be Now I see they only Wanted all the best for me Pops working late nights Never knew the stress Mom juggling a million things Barely getting rest Thought they were just tripping Telling me to take it slow But life moves fast Now I finally know Driving past the city lights Got me in my head How they managed everything Still got me feeling blessed Growing pains, yeah They hit you when you least expect Learning that your parents had your back It's all respect Late night drives, yeah I'm feeling like I'm in my zone Understanding Why they worked so hard Just to make a home Growing pains It's a lesson that we all go through Looking back I see the things I never thought I'd do Late night drives I'm just trying to find my peace Maturing every day Learning life's a masterpiece Now I get it, why they'd Tell me not to rush the ride Why they'd always worry When I stayed out late at night- They've been through the same roads Seen the highs and lows And I'm just another chapter In the story that they wrote- Grateful for the lessons For the love they always showed Now I'm on my own path But I never walk alone Growing pains, yeah They hit you when you least expect Learning that your parents Had your back, it's all respect Late night drives, yeah I'm feeling like I'm in my zone Understanding why they worked so hard Just to make a home Growing pains It's a lesson that we all go through Looking back I see the things I never thought I'd do Late night drives I'm just trying to find my peace Maturing every day Learning life's a masterpiece
