Growing Up the Hard Way - Demo Bon Jovi

[Intro]
Growin' up the hard way
We're growin' up the hard way

[Verse 1]
She's got a blue tattoo on the back of her hand
That says I love you, from the boys in the band
She's been livin' on the run for almost a year
Her daddy would abuse her, she's been livin' in fear

She's got a diamond in her teeth and a leather beret
She knows every city street from New York to LA
Shes got little girl eyes
And her heart's made of stone
I guess you gotta grow up fast
When you're out on your own

[Pre-Chorus]
Try, to hold your head up high
You live and then you die
Can someone tell me why?

[Chorus]
Growin' up the hard way, learnin' how to live with the pain
The weight of the world on your shoulders
I guess that's just the price that you pay
Growin' up the hard way, it's gettin' harder every day
Lying in a bed made of fire
Praying to God for some rain
Growin' up the hard way
