Where I Grew Up Lyrics - Kenny Chesney

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

2 Where Mama used to measure us

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

4 But that ain't where I grew up

5 See, I gained a little on Father Time

6 The summer my Granddaddy died

7 The first time I saw Mama cry

8 Man, that sure was tough

9 Felt like I put on a few years

10 Watching Daddy wipe her tears

11 In my little coat and tie standing in that cemetery mud

12 That's where I grew up

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

14 Getting a head start on twenty one

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

16 But that ain't where I grew up, no

17 See I gained a little on Father Time

18 That night I crossed that center line

19 I bet I rolled a dozen times

20 Next thing I knew I was

21 Waking up upside down

22 Praying God just get me out

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

24 Hey, that's where I grew up

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

26 See, I gained a little on Father Time

27 When me and her, had our first big fight

28 I said some things, I made her cry

29 She packed all her stuff

30 The boy in me said let her go

31 But the man in me said pull her close

32 It was time to find out which one I was

33 Standing in a doorway holding on to love

34 That's where I grew up

35 Oh, that's where I grew up
