"House I Grew Up In" lyrics

The house that I grew up in
Is the last house on the left of a dirt road dead-end street
Where I skinned both my knees
The house that I grew up in
Has a shop on the side full of dad's free time and old scrap metal
A lot of love fits in that split level

The house I grew up in has fireflies out back
Getting older makes me wonder why I call it that

Cause it ain't the one that I first got drunk in
It ain't the one where my dreams got crushed in
It ain't the one where I felt the world in
When he said he didn't love me too
It's the one I snuck down the hall in
Put the pencil marks on the wall in
But calling it the house that I grew up in
Really wouldn't be the whole truth
It's where I come from but I still ain't done
I've still got some growing up to do

Yeah the one that I'm in right now's
Got a stack of bills on the table that I don't know how to pay
Mama ain't one room away
I could fly home tomorrow, yeah, but then again
The house I grew up in ain't the one I'm growing up in

Cause it ain't the one that I first got drunk in
It ain't the one where my dreams got crushed in
It ain't the one where I felt the world in
When he said he didn't love me too
It's the one I snuck down the hall in
Put the pencil marks on the wall in
But calling it the house that I grew up in
Really wouldn't be the whole truth
It's where I come from but I still ain't done
I've still got some growing up to do

It ain't the one I'm chasing dreams in
Or the one I turn 23 in
Or the one I'm finding me in
It's the one that I outgrew
Cause it's the one I snuck down the hall in
Put the pencil marks on the wall in
Calling it the house that I grew up in
Really wouldn't be the whole truth
It's where I come from but I still ain't done
I've still got some
Yeah, it's where I come from but I still ain't done
I've still got some growing up to do
I've still got growing up to do
Yeah, I do, I've got some growing up to do
