Growing up Around Here

Well it's been so long I swore I'd never come back To this sleepy little one horse dot on the map But the roots run deep In this rocky red ground And I could feel that pull, every road I went down Growing up around here in this taillight town I spent seventeen years tryin' to find a way out Took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now I'm kind of proud of growing up around here Well I kissed my first girl Behind that Texaco sign I drank my first cold beer by that river side I played a little football Got a letter on my jacket I bet it's still in that box, up there in my Mom's attic Growing up around here in this taillight town I spent seventeen years tryin' to find a way out Took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now I'm kind of proud of growing up around here Yeah I know someday No matter how far I roam Oh I'll end up back this way And I'll call this place home Yeah there's no place like home Growing up around here in this taillight town I spent seventeen years tryin' to find a way out Took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now Growing up around here in this taillight town I spent seventeen years tryin' to find a way out Took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now I'm kind of proud of growing up around here Yeah I'm proud Of growing up around here
