The house that I grew up in
Is the last house on the left
of a dirt road dead -end street
Where I skinned both my knees
The house that I grew up in
Has a shop on the side
full of dad's free time and old scrap metal
A lot of love fits in that split level
The house I grew up in
Has fireflies out back
Gettin' older makes me
wonder why I call it that
Cause it ain't the one that I first got drunk in
It ain't the one where
my dreams got crushed in
It ain't the one where I felt the world in
When he said he didn't love me too
It's the one that snuck down the hall and
Put the pencil marks on the wall and
But callin' it the house that I grew up in
Really wouldn't be the whole truth
It's where I come from,
but I still ain't done
I've still got some grow
ing up to do
Yeah, the one that I'm in right now's
Got a stack of bills on the table
that I don't know how to pay
Mama, ain't one room away
I could fly home tomorrow,
yeah, but then again
The house I grew up in
ain't the one I'm growin' up in
Cause it ain't the one
that I first got drunk in
It ain't the one where
my dreams got crushed in
It ain't the one where I felt the world in
When you said you didn't love me too
It's the one that snuck down the hall and
Put the pencil marks on the wall and
The crawling at the house
that I grew up in
Really wouldn't be the whole truth
It's where I come from,
but I still ain't done
I've still got some growing
up to do
It ain't the one
I'm chasing dreams in
Or the one I turn 23 in
Or the one I'm finding me in
It's the one that I outgrew
Cause I still wanna snug down the hall
and
put the pencil marks on the wall
And calling it the house that I grew up in,
really wouldn't be the whole truth
It's where I come from,
but I still ain't done,
I've still got some
Yeah, it's where I come from,
but I still ain't done,
I've still got some
Growin' up to do
I still got growin' up to do
Yeah, I do, I got some
growin' up to do
