There's still marks on the pantry door of that little house
Am2BmE
Where Mama used to measure us
Am2BmCm#
I'm proud to say that's my home where I was raised
FmBm
But that ain't where I grew up
CHORUS
Am2
See, I gained a little on Father Time
E
The summer my Granddaddy died
Bm
The first time I saw Mama cry
EGm#
Man, that sure was tough
Am2
Felt like I put on a few years
Gm# Fm
Watching Daddy wipe her tears
FmEAm2
In my little coat and tie standing in that cemetery mud
Bm
That's where I grew up
ABE
VERSE
Am2BmE
My senior year, a case of beer out on the river bank
Am2BmE
Getting a head start on twenty one
Am2BmCm#
That's the place that made me feel just like a man
FmBm
But that ain't where I grew up
CHORUS
Am2
See I gained a little on Father Time
E
That night I crossed that center line
Bm
I bet I rolled a dozen times
EFmGm# Am2
Next thing I knew I was waking up upside down
Gm# Fm
Praying God just get me out

Then I hit my knees beside what was left of my truck

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

When me and her, had our first big fight
Bm
I said some things, I made her cry
EGm#
She packed all her stuff
Am2
The boy in me said let her go
Gm# Fm
But the man in me said pull her close
FmEAm2Bm
It was time to find out which one I was
FmEAm2Bm
Standing in a doorway holding on to love

That's where I grew up
ABmEAm2Em
Oh, that's where I grew up
