Growing Up Strong

[Verse] Dirt roads and tractor lights, the nights I never sleep Cornfields stretching wide, those promises I keep Mama's voice on the porch, she always had it right Taught me how to dream big under that starry sky [Verse 2] Worked the land with my hands; calloused but so proud Sunburnt summer days, singing stories loud Daddy's shadow long, tried to fill his boots Learning how to stand tall in this homegrown suit [Chorus] Cause I'm growing up strong, living wild and free Every step I take, makin' history Lessons from the past, in my heart they stay I'm moving on forward, but I won't forget those days [Verse 3] Sweet tea and first loves, broken hearts and bliss Swore we'd last forever, sealed with our first kiss Small town parades, fireworks in the night Finding out who I am in that fading light [Verse 4] Grandma's quilt on my bed, stories in each thread Taught me how to love deep, never live in dread Every bruise and every scar, they've made me who I am Standing strong and steady; I'm a proud small-town man [Chorus] Cause I'm growing up strong, living wild and free Every step I take, makin' history Lessons from the past, in my heart they stay I'm moving on forward, but I won't forget those days
