I swore I'd never come back
To this sleepy little one horse dot on the map
But the roots run deep
In this rocky red ground
And I could feel that pull, every road I went down
Growing up around here in this taillight town
I spent seventeen years tryin' to find a way out
Took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now
I'm kind of proud of growing up around here
Well I kissed my first girl
Behind that Texaco sign
I drank my first cold beer by that river side
I played a little football
Got a letter on my jacket
I bet it's still in that box, up there in my Mom's attic
Growing up around here in this taillight town
I spent seventeen years tryin' to find a way out
Took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now
I'm kind of proud of growing up around here
Yeah I know someday
No matter how far I roam
Oh I'll end up back this way
And I'll call this place home
Yeah there's no place like home
Growing up around here in this taillight town
I spent seventeen years tryin' to find a way out
Took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now
Growing up around here in this taillight town
I spent seventeen years tryin' to find a way out
Took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now
I'm kind of proud of growing up around here
Yeah I'm proud
Of growing up around here

Well it's been so long I swore I'd never come back To this sleepy little one horse dot on the map But the roots run deep In this rocky red ground And I could feel that pull, every road I went down Growing up around here in this taillight town I spent seventeen years tryin' to find a way out Took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now I'm kind of proud of growing up around here Well I kissed my first girl Behind that Texaco sign I drank my first cold beer by that river side I played a little football Got a letter on my jacket I bet it's still in that box, up there in my Mom's attic Growing up around here in this taillight town I spent seventeen years tryin' to find a way out Took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now I'm kind of proud of growing up around here Yeah I know someday No matter how far I roam Oh I'll end up back this way And I'll call this place home Yeah there's no place like home Growing up around here in this taillight town I spent seventeen years tryin' to find a way out Took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now Growing up around here in this taillight town I spent seventeen years tryin' to find a way out Took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now I'm kind of proud of growing up around here Yeah I'm proud Of growing up around here Songwriters: Will Hoge, Brett Beavers And Tommy Lee James Explain Request ×
