Capo on 4th fret - to match the CD

Intro: D MajorD


D MajorD
There's still marks on the pantry door of that little house

D MajorD
Where Mama used to measure us

B minorBm
I'm proud to say that's my home where I was raised

A augmentedA
But that ain't where I grew up

   G+G
See, I gained a little on Father Time

D/F#D/F#
The summer my Granddaddy died

  A augmentedA
The first time I saw Mama cry

F# minorF#m
Man, that sure was tough
G+G
Felt like I put on a few years

G/BG/B
Watching Daddy wipe her tears

   G+G
In my little coat and tie standing in that cemetery mud

D MajorD
That's where I grew up


D MajorD
My senior year, a case of beer out on the river bank

D MajorD
Getting a head start on twenty one

G+G
That's the place that made me feel just like a man
A augmentedA
But that ain't where I grew up

G+G
See I gained a little on Father Time

D/F#D/F#
That night I crossed that center line

A augmentedA
I bet I rolled a dozen times
G+G
Next thing I knew I was waking up upside down

G/BG/B
Praying God just get me out

    G+G
Then I hit my knees beside what was left of my truck

   G+G
Hey, that's where I grew up
         A augmentedA
You learn as you go, that's how you grow


  G+G
See, I gained a little on Father Time

D/F#D/F#
When me and her, had our first big fight

A augmentedA
I said some things, I made her cry

F# minorF#m
She packed all her stuff
G+G
The boy in me said let her go

     G/BG/B
But the man in me said pull her close

    A augmentedA
It was time to find out which one I was

     A augmentedA
Standing in a doorway holding on to love
          D MajorD
That's where I grew up oh that’s where I grew up
