[Verse 1]
There's still 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
[Chorus]
See, I gained a little on Father Time
The summer my Granddaddy died
The first time I saw Mama cry
And man, that sure was tough
Felt like I'd 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
[Verse 2]
Senior year, a case of beer out on the riverbank
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, no
[Chorus]
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
There's still 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
[Chorus]
See, I gained a little on Father Time
The summer my Granddaddy died
The first time I saw Mama cry
And man, that sure was tough
Felt like I'd 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
[Verse 2]
Senior year, a case of beer out on the riverbank
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, no
[Chorus]
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
