3
Second day of third grade, Three Oaks Elementary
4
She sat in the first row, I was all the way across the room
5
It might as well have been the far side of the moon
6
I had to get her attention, she wouldn't look at me
7
I waited for the bell to ring, and when we went outside for recess
8
I put a cricket down the backside of her dress
9
Had to take a note home, Mama spanked my butt
10
Daddy hugged me, "Son, that's part of growing up"
11
You live and learn to give and take
12
When to use your strength
13
And when you need a gentle touch
14
Sometimes it takes patience
15
Sometimes a greater store of love
16
You learn it growing up
17
Andy was my best friend, all the way through high school
18
We couldn't wait for Friday night
19
We'd chip in change for gas in his car and roam
20
One night I was grounded so he went out on his own
21
Two o'clock in the morning, I'd just gotten to sleep
22
Mama took the call and woke me
23
"That was Andy's Daddy on the phone"
24
Andy missed that hairpin curve on Levee Road
25
Andy loved to run hard, he never buckled up
26
Mama held me when I cried growing up
27
You live and learn to give and take
28
When to pray for strength
29
When understanding's not enough
30
Look life in the eye
31
Even when the road gets rough
32
It's not easy growing up
33
I can't forget the day she called me home from work
34
The pains were getting closer
35
She said, "Hon, don't panic, but it's time to go"
36
We named him "Andy" for a friend I used to know
37
It hit me just this morning, I dropped him off at school
38
No great revelation
39
I bowed my head and thanked the Lord for all I've got
40
Little league and family picnics in the park
41
Both our folks are doing well, the circle's filling out
42
I treasure every moment; I'm still growing up
43
You live and learn to give and take
44
Always try to do your best
45
And hope that it's enough
46
If you don't lose the faith
47
You'll always find the love
48
It's all part of growing up
