VINTAGE (CXLIII)

 

Bruce Springsteen - "Growin' Up"

"I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere, 
And you know it's really hard to hold your breath
I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared, 
I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress
Well, my feet they finally took root in the earth, 
But I got me a nice little place in the stars
And I swear I found the key to the universe 
In the engine of an old parked car
I hid in the mother breast of the crowd, 
But when they said, "Pull down," I pulled up
Ooh... growin' up
Ooh... growin' up"
