Well its been so long I swore Id 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 Im 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 its still in that box, up there in my Moms 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 Im kind of proud of growing up around here Yeah I know someday No matter how far I roam Oh Ill end up back this way And Ill call this place home Yeah theres 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 Im kind of proud of growing up around here Yeah Im proud Of growing up around here Songwriters Will Hoge, Brett Beavers And Tommy Lee James
