There's a dog in the yard, picky fences aroundCovered front porch on the wide frame houseFort Endon Drive is a few payments short of paid offBaby boy down the hall turns one next weekI know everybody on Sesame StreetThe boys I raised hell with back then would have never thoughtWell now the sun sets a little bit sweeterThe grass grows a little bit greenerI am who I am but you make me who I want to beA little less wide open, a little more soberLife moves fast so I try to take it slowerGrowing older with you is slowly changing meI'm a chip on my shoulder intoHeart on fireI'm a chip on my sleeveI'm an expert now on high chairs and car seatsThe mom you've become knocks me off my feetI'm finding myself on my knees a lot more these daysWhen you take these first steps it'll bring a tear to my eyesIt's the first day of school, I'll hold your hand when you cryThere wasn't time that I never saw myself this wayWell now the sun sets a little bit sweeterThe grass grows a little bit greenerI am who I am but you make me who I want to beI'm a little less wide open, a little more soberLife moves fast so I try to take it slowerGrowing older with you is slowly changing meI'm a chip on my shoulder intoHeart on fireI'm a chip on my sleeveGrowing older with you is slowly changing meI'm a chip on my shoulder intoHeart on my sleeve
