[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
See, I gained a little on Father Time
The summer my Granddaddy died
The first time I saw Mama cry
And man, that sure was tough
Felt like I'd 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
[Verse 2]
Senior year, a case of beer out on the riverbank
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, no
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
You learn as you go
That's how you grow
[Chorus]
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
The man in me said pull her close
It was time to find out which one I was
Standing in a doorway, holding on to love
That's where I grew up
[Outro]
Oh, that's where I grew up
