Ground I Grew Up On (Acoustic)
That ain't just dirt
That ain't just dust blowin'
That ain't just nothing but an old fishin' hole
Ain't just some rooster crowin'
It's where I learned how to be a boy
Washed in the blood and red dirt mud
Kinda glad I didn't have a choice
So girl, just kick back in that shotgun
Let me show you where I'm from
Girl, where I'm from
Might look like nothin' but gravel roads
And tractors rollin' over them fields
And prayin' that we get a little rain soon
And cuttin' loose in the hand-me-down wheels
And knockin' them Friday night beers back
By the train tracks and thinkin' that
I'd never miss this place when I got gone
But that's the ground I grew up on
Yeah, that's the ground I grew up on
Girl, don't blink
You might miss it all
It's where I could fix anything I broke, but the law
It was hard to leave
Girl, that's the truth
But you know if I'd stuck around this little town, I'd never've found you
Might look like nothin' but gravel roads
And tractors rollin' over them fields
And prayin' that we get a little rain soon
And cuttin' loose in hand-me-down wheels
And knockin' them Friday night beers back
By the train tracks and thinkin' that
I'd never miss this place when I got gone
But that's ground I grew up on
Yeah, that's the ground grew up on
Where the tales are as the corn grows
Baby, who knows if we're lucky
Maybe one day at our back door
Might look like nothin' but gravel roads
And tractors rollin' over them fields
And prayin' that we get a little rain soon
And cuttin' loose in hand-me-down wheels
And knockin' them Friday night beers back
By the train tracks and thinkin' that
I'd never miss this place when I got gone
But lookin' back, I couldn't have been more wrong
'Cause that's the ground I grew up on
Yeah, that's the ground I grew up on
That ain't just dust blowin'
That ain't just nothing but an old fishin' hole
Ain't just some rooster crowin'
It's where I learned how to be a boy
Washed in the blood and red dirt mud
Kinda glad I didn't have a choice
So girl, just kick back in that shotgun
Let me show you where I'm from
Girl, where I'm from
Might look like nothin' but gravel roads
And tractors rollin' over them fields
And prayin' that we get a little rain soon
And cuttin' loose in the hand-me-down wheels
And knockin' them Friday night beers back
By the train tracks and thinkin' that
I'd never miss this place when I got gone
But that's the ground I grew up on
Yeah, that's the ground I grew up on
Girl, don't blink
You might miss it all
It's where I could fix anything I broke, but the law
It was hard to leave
Girl, that's the truth
But you know if I'd stuck around this little town, I'd never've found you

And tractors rollin' over them fields
And prayin' that we get a little rain soon
And cuttin' loose in hand-me-down wheels

But that's ground I grew up on
Yeah, that's the ground grew up on

But lookin' back, I couldn't have been more wrong
'Cause that's the ground I grew up on
Yeah, that's the ground I grew up on
