Grew Up

I was twenty-two with an arm full of ink
A chip on my shoulder and a handful of drink
When your momma called, said you were on the way
I won't forget that day
The day you were born, I swear I was born too
You were lookin' at me and I was lookin' at you
We were scared to death, wondering what the hell to do next
Them first few years flew fast, it's crazy now lookin' back

We grew up together, just two kids tryna' figure out
This thing called "life" together
Walkin' and fallin' and gettin' back up and takin' on whatever
Thought I was a man til' my little girl came along
And taught mе better
Yeah, wе grew up together

You were picking up the bottle while I was puttin' it down
You said your first words and I learned to watch my mouth
Just watchin' you, put your trust in me, I learned to trust me too
I couldn't learn that on my own
Thank God you came along

Yeah, we grew up together, just two kids tryna' figure out
This thing called "life" together
Walkin' and fallin' and gettin' back up and takin' on whatever
Thought I was a man til' my little girl came along
And taught me better
Yeah, we grew up together

I'll tell you all about it someday
How this road didn't go just one way
Yeah, you were teaching me, while I was teaching you
And it's hard to believe but to tell you the truth..

We grew up together, just two kids tryna' figure out
This thing called "life" together
Walkin' and fallin' and gettin' back up and takin' on whatever
