Lyrics to Ground I Grew Up On
That ain't just dirt
That ain't just dust blowin'
That ain't just nothin' but an old fishin' hole
Ain't just some rooster crowin'
It's where I learned how to be a boy
Washed in the blood and red dirt mud
Kinda glad I didn't have a choice
So girl just kick back in that shotgun
Let me show you where I'm from
Girl where I'm from
Might look like nothin' but gravel roads
And tractors rollin' over them fields
And prayin' that we get a little rain soon
And cuttin' loose in hand me down wheels
And knockin' them Friday night beers back
By the train tracks and thinkin' that
I'd never miss this place when I got gone
But that's the ground I grew up on
Yeah that's the ground I grew up on
Girl don't blink
You might miss it all
It's where I could fix anything I broke but the law
It was hard to leave
Girl that's the truth
But you know if I'd stuck around this little town I'd never found you
Might look like nothin' but gravel roads
And tractors rollin' over them fields
And prayin' that we get a little rain soon
And cuttin' loose in hand me down wheels
And knockin' them Friday night beers back
By the train tracks and thinkin' that
I'd never miss this place when I got gone
But lookin' back I couldn't have been more wrong
But that's ground I grew up on
Yeah that's the ground I grew up on
Where the tales are as tall as the corn grows
Baby who knows if we’re lucky
Maybe one day at our back door
Might look like nothin’ but gravel roads
And tractors rollin’ over them fields
And prayin’ that we get a little rain soon
And cuttin’ loose in hand me down wheels
And knockin’ them Friday night beers back
By the train tracks and thinkin' that
I’d never miss this place when I got gone
But lookin’ back I couldn’t have been more wrong
‘Cause that’s the ground I grew up on
Yeah that’s the ground I grew up on
That ain't just dust blowin'
That ain't just nothin' but an old fishin' hole
Ain't just some rooster crowin'
It's where I learned how to be a boy
Washed in the blood and red dirt mud
Kinda glad I didn't have a choice
So girl just kick back in that shotgun
Let me show you where I'm from
Girl where I'm from
Might look like nothin' but gravel roads
And tractors rollin' over them fields
And prayin' that we get a little rain soon
And cuttin' loose in hand me down wheels
And knockin' them Friday night beers back
By the train tracks and thinkin' that
I'd never miss this place when I got gone
But that's the ground I grew up on
Yeah that's the ground I grew up on
Girl don't blink
You might miss it all
It's where I could fix anything I broke but the law
It was hard to leave
Girl that's the truth
But you know if I'd stuck around this little town I'd never found you
Might look like nothin' but gravel roads
And tractors rollin' over them fields
And prayin' that we get a little rain soon
And cuttin' loose in hand me down wheels
And knockin' them Friday night beers back

Yeah that’s the ground I grew up on
