Dan Hill - Growing Up Lyrics

Ma cried like a lady
Pa cried like a man
1963
One less Kennedy
And I was too young to understand
And the years flew by in colors
Each one a little faster than before
And as the war caused some to cry
I'd identify
My TV keeping score
Growing up
In the shadow of the USA
Trying to find
The meaning of life today

America
It's a heavy kind of role you
Play
You're the hero
You're the villain
Your every move is on display

Ma cried like a lady
Pa cried like a man
1963
One less Kennedy
And I was too young to understand
We were all too young to understand
