I am looking for some songs that are about growing, maybe sing about the way things used to be. If anyone has any suggestions that be great.
They can be funny, depressing, anything as long as it deals with the subject matter. Any genre is welcomed, except country, sorry.
The only one that comes to mind as I write this is Adam's song by Blink 182.
Any suggestions?

Well, speaking of Blink 182, "D*mmit" is another one by them about growing up, and actually contains the line "Well I guess this is growing up".
And if you're looking for something funny and somewhat nostalgic, try "Play-doh" by the Aquabats. It's all about retro toys and shows from his childhood. Then that reminds me of a similar song "The Sprinkler" by the punk band Sicko. You'll only be able to find that one if you look them up on myspace.

It's by (the late) Harry Chapin, not Don McLean.
OMG... I have the perfect song for you...

Also, "My Hometown" and "Glory Days" by Bruce Springsteen.
For a humorous take on it, you should definitely listen to "Those Were the Good Old Days" by Weird Al Yankovic and "When I Was Your Age."
Other suggestions:
"Days Gone By" by Slaughter
"Childhood" by Michael Jackson
"We're Young and Beautiful" by Carrie Underwood"
"Young and Innocent" by Elefante (St. Elmo's Fire soundtrack)
"These Are Days" by 10,000 Maniacs
"Sweet Child O Mine" by Guns N Roses
"Best Days" by Graham Colton
"Looking Through the Eyes of A Child" by Eddie Money
"Days in Avalon" by Richard Marx
"God Bless the Child" by Shania Twain

I'm not a big Green Day fan but I remember they played this at my graduation.
