Where I Grew Up歌词

Artist: Kenny Chesney
Song: Where I Grew Up

still There's marks on the pantry door of that little house

Where Mama used to measure us

I'm proud to say that's my home where I was raised

But that ain't where I grew up

See, I gained a little on Father Time

The summer my Granddaddy died

The first time I saw Mama cry

Man, that sure was tough

Felt like I put on a few years

Watching Daddy wipe her tears
In my little coat and tie standing in that cemetery mud

That's where I grew up

My senior year, a case of beer out on the river bank

Getting a head start on twenty one

That's the place that made me feel just like a man

But that ain't where I grew up

See I gained a little on Father Time

That night I crossed that center line

I bet I rolled a dozen times

Next thing I knew I was waking up upside down

Praying God just get me out
Then I hit my knees beside what was left of my truck

Hey, that's where I grew up

You learn as you go, that's how you grow

See, I gained a little on Father Time

When me and her, had our first big fight

I said some things, I made her cry

She packed all her stuff

The boy in me said let her go
But the man in me said pull her close
It was time to find out which one I was

Standing in a doorway holding on to love

That's where I grew up

Oh, that's where I grew up
