Текст Kenny Chesney – Where I Grew Up

There’s still marks on the pantry door of that little house
Where Mama used to measure us
I’m proud to say that’s my home where I was raised
But that ain’t where I grew up

See, I gained a little on Father Time
The summer my Granddaddy died
The first time I saw Mama cry
Man, that sure was tough

Felt like I put on a few years
Watching Daddy wipe her tears
In my little coat and tie standing in that cemetery mud
That’s where I grew up

My senior year, a case of beer out on the river bank
Getting a head start on twenty one
That’s the place that made me feel just like a man
But that ain’t where I grew up

See I gained a little on Father Time
That night I crossed that center line
I bet I rolled a dozen times

Next thing I knew I was waking up upside down
Praying God just get me out
Then I hit my knees beside what was left of my truck
Hey, that’s where I grew up

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

See, I gained a little on Father Time
When me and her, had our first big fight
I said some things, I made her cry
She packed all her stuff

The boy in me said let her go
But the man in me said pull her close

That’s where I grew up
Oh, that’s where I grew up
