Stoney LaRue - Heather Grows lyrics

Well your daddy's supposed to work too many bumps on the head There's bills and there's habits, and there's mouths to be fed Mama she quit trying about age 22 now you're just the right size It's all getting left up to you Chorus: As if growing up wasn't hard enough to do There's so much more the world is putting you through Do you need some understanding God only knows That Heather is a flower and Heather grows, Heather grows I've been around your family 16 odd years Your brothers and sisters made you wise beyond your years Love and cucarachas is all that there's a lot of If you ain't playing mama, then the kids aren't being thought of (Chorus) With the world upon your shoulders and your baby on the way You realize the stage you're on and the parts you've got to play Your life is not a tragedy bringing joy to every day Love will come returning for all the love you gave away (Chorus)
