Will Hoge - Growing Up Around Here Lyrics






Well it's been so long
I swore I'd never come back
To this sleepy little one horse dot on the map
But the roots run deep
In this rocky red ground
And I could feel that pull, every road I went down

Growing up around here in this taillight town
I spent seventeen years tryin' to find a way out
Took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now
I'm kind of proud of growing up around here

Well I kissed my first girl
Behind that Texaco sign
I drank my first cold beer by that river side
I played a little football
Got a letter on my jacket
I bet it's still in that box, up there in my Mom's attic

Growing up around here in this taillight town
I spent seventeen years tryin' to find a way out
Took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now
I'm kind of proud of growing up around here

Yeah I know someday
No matter how far I roam
Oh I'll end up back this way
And I'll call this place home
Yeah there's no place like home

Growing up around here in this taillight town
I spent seventeen years tryin' to find a way out
Took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now
Growing up around here in this taillight town
I spent seventeen years tryin' to find a way out
Took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now
I'm kind of proud of growing up around here
Yeah I'm proud
Of growing up around here

    This is my 2 year old daughter's favorite song! She will request it before we even get in the car by saying, "Mommy songs all day long!" She knows he's my favorite and she wants this song on repeat. I fell in love with Will Hoge's music in Aug 2001 and I could not be more thrilled my daughter has fallen for him too!

    This guy is the REAL DEAL PERIOD!   Great songs, with lots of meat on the bone!  Love his stuff!  Talented guy with a blue collar edge, really reminds me of a modern day Springsteen or Bob Segar!  Thanks for making good music and bringin it back home Will!  Cheers!

    This guy is great! if he doesn't make it big in the music business there truly is no justice. If you like this song please listen to "Guitar or a Gun" off this same album.
