the country i grew up on
parked by the swimming hole listening to the radio fresh coat of red clay on our feet they play an old school country song the kind that gets you holding on next thing i knew she was dancing close to me talk about a memory the country i grew up on somewhere off the beaten path it's a shotgun and a bird dog and that old truck i got from dad we run them back roads all night long kicking up that dust till dawn haggard singing me back home that's the country i grew up on we'd drive up on a hill past grandad's to back of field look down on the small town lights and when the sunlight hit that chevy son we were all grown up at 17 living out those songs 'bout love and life time sure does fly the country i grew up on somewhere off the beaten path it's a shotgun and a bird dog and that old truck i got from dad we run them back roads all night long kicking up that dust till dawn haggard singing me back home that's the country i grew up on on this side of the interstate they say that it's all changed but when i go back up on that hill stars still look the same it's all the same the country i grew up on somewhere off the beaten path it's a shotgun and a bird dog and that old truck i got from dad we run them back roads all night long kicking up that dust till dawn haggard singing me back home that's the country i grew up on the country i grew up on the country i grew up on
