Growing Her Wings

[Verse 1]
Brother's in the backyard diggin' in the dirt
Mama's in the kitchen in an old t-shirt
Daddy’s diesel's comin' up the street
And she's in her bedroom, growing her wings
Ready to run in her headphones
Pretty in pink on all ten toes
Nose in a Cosmo magazine
All the junk Mama says she's too young to read
Little do they know, she's growing her wings

[Chorus]
They got her whole life on lockdown
Doin' time behind her bedroom door
I guess it's alright for right now
But outside her window, there's so much more room for running
And space to discover a whole wide world to see
She's dreamin' 'bout the girl she's gonna be
Stuck in Ross County, growing her wings

[Verse 2]
The neighbor boy taught her how to French kiss
And Daddy's got eyes in the back of his head
He said, "No dating 'til you're eighteen"
Now she’s in her room grounded, growing her wings

[Chorus]
They got her whole life on lockdown
Doin' time behind her bedroom door
I guess it's alright for right now
But outside her window, there's so much more room for running
And space to discover a whole wide world to see
She's dreamin' 'bout the girl she's gonna be
Stuck in Ross County, growing her wings

[Bridge]
She wants to fly and never look down
But tonight
She's tucked inside a tiny little town in a little twin bed
All safe and sound

[Chorus]
And there's so much more room for running and space to discover
A whole wide world to see
She's dreamin' 'bout the girl that she's gonna be
Stuck in Ross County, growing her wings
Growing her wings
