Where I Grew Up Lyrics - Hemingway's Whiskey - Kenny Chesney

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

Where Mama used to measure us 

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 

The summer my Granddaddy died 

The first time I saw Mama cry 

Man, that sure was tough 

Felt like I put on a few years 

Watching Daddy wipe her tears 

In my little coat and tie standing in that cemetery mud 

That's where I grew up

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

Getting a head start on twenty one 

That's the place that made me feel just like a man 

But that ain't where I grew up, no 

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 

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

Hey, that's where I grew up 

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

See, 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 

Photos 

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 a doorway holding on to love 

That's where I grew up 

Oh, that's where I grew up
