Shenandoah - That's Where I Grew Up Lyrics






There's still marks on that pantry door
In that little house
Where mama used to measure us
And I'm proud to say that's my home
Where I was raised
But that ain't where I grew up

See I gained a little on father time
That summer my grandaddy died
The first time I saw mama cry
Man that sure was tough
Felt like I'd put on a few years
Watching daddy wipe her tears
In my little coat and tie
Standing in the cemetery mud
That's where I grew up

My senior year, a case of beer
Right on the river bank
Getting a head start on 21
That's the place that made me feel
Just like a man
But that ain't where I grew up

See I gained a little on father time
That night I crossed that center line
I bet I rolled a dozen times
Next thing I knew, I was...
Waking up upside down
Praying "God, just get me out"
And I hit my knees
Beside what was left of my truck
And that's where I grew up

You learn as you go, oh
You see that's how you grow

I gained a little on father time
When me and her had our first big fight
I said some things, I made her cry
She packed all her stuff
The boy in me said let her go
But the man in me said pull her close
It was time to find out which one I was
Standing in the doorway, holding on to love
That's where I grew up
That's where I grew up

    The words of this song are very powerful and it's country music at its best I grew up on Shenandoah & Marty Raybon when I was a child and this song tells a story about my life to Marty Raybon in Shenandoah thank you for all that you have done and for the inspiration that you've given me

    Marty Raybon's voice is a true Country treasure. My favorite male Country voice bar none. There's something in that beautiful voice that just breaks my heart (in a good way). What a blessing to still have this fella making music. Heaven ro my ears!

  11. A.... R....

    One of the best all time country bands .

    Marty and Mike. You boys STILL have it because you never LOST it. Marty has such a rich golden voice that will never be duplicated. They are the soundtrack to my childhood. Every time I hear one of their songs it takes me back. From the great memories of Two Dozen Roses of when I was a teenager to just last year when Marty’s hallowing version of Beulah Land played at my dads funeral. I’m so thankful to see them again.

    J.... C....
