G A D
there’s still marks on the pantry door of that little house

G A D
where mama used to measure us

G A Bm
i’m proud to say that’s my home where i was raised

Em A
but that ain’t where i grew up

G
see , i gained a little on father time

D/F#
the summer my grandDaddy died

A
the first time i saw mama cry

D Em F#m
man , that sure was tough
G
felt like i put on a few years

D D/C# G/B
watching Daddy wipe her tears

Em F#m G
in my little coat and tie standing in that cemetery mud

A G A D
that’s where i grew up

G A D
my senior year , a case of beer out on the river bank

G A D
getting a head start on twenty one

G A Bm G
that’s the place that made me feel just like a man

Em A
but that ain’t where i grew up

G
see i gained a little on father time

D/F#
that night i crossed that center line

A
i bet i rolled a dozen times
D Em F#m G
next thing i knew i was waking up upside down

D D/C# G/B
praying god just get me out

Em F#m G
then i hit my knees beside what was left of my truck

A G
hey , that’s where i grew up
A G A
you learn as you go , that’s how you grow

G
see , i gained a little on father time

D/F#
when me and her , had our first big fight

A
i said some things , i made her cry

D Em F#m
she packed all her stuff
G
the boy in me said let her go

D D/C# G/B
but the man in me said pull her close

Em F#m G A
it was time to find out which one i was

Em F#m G A
standing in a doorway holding on to love
G A D G A D
that’s where i grew up oh thats where i grew up
