That’s How I Grew Up Lyrics by Joe Nichols
When the world goes left I go right
Just to go against the grain
I crash and burn most of the time
And I know how blood tastes
A no trespass sign ends in blue lights
Little white lies lose trust
Nothing hurts like a goodbye
And that’s how I grew up
I grew up in back seat
On a back road
With the one that got away
Grew up in a back pew of an old church
Where I learned amazing grace
Make no mistake, I wouldn’t change who I am or who I was
Most things I learned the hard way
But that’s how I grew up
Well, you can win the fight and lose the war
What you say you can’t take back
When you can’t be the man she needs you to be
It’ll make you grow up fast
I grew up in back seat
On a back road
With the one that got away
Grew up in a back pew of an old church
Where I learned amazing grace
Make no mistake, I wouldn’t change who I am or who I was
Most things I learned the hard way
But that’s how I grew up
Yeah, that’s how I grew up
The first time I saw daddy cry
Was when his went to meet the sun
We said goodbye for the last time
That’s how I grew up
I grew up in back seat
On a back road
With the one that got away
Grew up in a back pew of an old church
Where I learned amazing grace
Make no mistake I wouldn’t change who I am or who I was
Most things I learned the hard way
But that’s how I grew up
Most things I learned the hard way
But that’s how I grew up
When the world goes left, I go right
Just to go against the grain
