Where I Grew Up
CAPO 2
INTRO: Am2 Bm E (Am2) E (Am2)
VERSE
Am2 Bm E
There's still marks on the pantry door of that little house
Am2 Bm E
Where Mama used to measure us
Am2 Bm Cm#
I'm proud to say that's my home where I was raised
Fm Bm
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
E Fm Gm#
Man, that sure was tough
Am2
Felt like I put on a few years
Gm# Fm
Watching Daddy wipe her tears
Fm E Am2
In my little coat and tie standing in that cemetery mud
Bm
That's where I grew up
Am2 Bm E
VERSE
Am2 Bm E
My senior year, a case of beer out on the river bank
Am2 Bm E
Getting a head start on twenty one
Am2 Bm Cm#
That's the place that made me feel just like a man
Fm Bm
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
E Fm Gm# Am2
Next thing I knew I was waking up upside down
Gm# Fm
Praying God just get me out
Fm E Am2
Then I hit my knees beside what was left of my truck
Bm Am2
Hey, that's where I grew up
BREAK
Am2 Bm Am2 Bm
You learn as you go, that's how you grow
CHORUS
Am2
See, I gained a little on Father Time
E
When me and her, had our first big fight
Bm
I said some things, I made her cry
E Gm#
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
Fm E Am2 Bm
It was time to find out which one I was
Fm E Am2 Bm
Standing in a doorway holding on to love
(HOLD Bm)
That's where I grew up
Am2 Bm
E Am2 Bm E
Oh, that's where I grew up
