You get a hand-me-down, throw a lift on it
Ride it around 'til the wheels fall off
You drink your first beer in a back 40
With your buddies that your buddy's brother bought
Learn to drive on a tractor, learn to pray in a pew
And how to stick to your roots
That's what growing up in a small town does
Yeah, you talk with a drawl and your boots stay scuffed
County line, stop sign, bird shot
Making the most of a little map dot
You fall in love with some hometown hazel eyes
You hit a knee, hit a church, and you make a life
Some people don't get it, some people do
'Cause that's what growing up in a small town does
You got a buck knife your granddaddy gave you
You don't miss nothing with your twelve gauge
Get your cash from the corn and the cattle
Your mama's a saint and your back roads are gravel
That's what growing up in a small town does
Yeah, you talk with a drawl and your boots stay scuffed
County line, stop sign, bird shot
Making the most of a little map dot
You fall in love with some hometown hazel eyes
You hit a knee, hit a church, and you make a life
Some people don't get it, some people do
'Cause that's what growing up in a small town does
That's what growing up in a small town does
Yeah, that's what growing up in a small town does
Yeah, you talk with a drawl and your boots stay scuffed
County line, stop sign, bird shot
Making the most of a little map dot
You fall in love with some hometown hazel eyes
You hit a knee, hit a church, and you make a life
Some people don't get it, some people do
'Cause that's what growing up in a small town does
That's what growing up in a small town does
