james johnston - we grew up on lyrics
[verse 1]
half a tank in a hand me down
rollin’ with my best friends
we’d never left our hometown
so we took off with no plans
[pre+chorus]
and we played scratched up burnt cds
’90s on repeat, feet up on that dash
and rolled them windows way down low
didn’t know where we’d go
but h+ll, we didn’t look back
[chorus]
’cause we grew up when forever was highways together
and love was the long way home
we grew up when freedom was sixteen dreamin’ of
late nights and open roads
yeah, foot down in an old ford
runnin’ wild all summer long
that’s what we grew up on
[verse 2]
rollеd up in that ’94
to take her out on our first date
pickеd her up at the front door
and her old man said don’t be too late
[pre+chorus]
then we went cruisin’ under stars
nervous beatin’ hearts
her hand wrapped in mine
then she moved in with cherry lips
man, that was my first kiss
i won’t forget that night
[chorus]
’cause we grew up when forever was highways together
and love was the long way home
we grew up when freedom was sixteen dreamin’ of
late nights and open roads
yeah, foot down in an old ford
runnin’ wild all summer long
that’s what we grew up on
[post+chorus]
(what we grew up on) yeah
(what we grew up on)
(what we grew up on)
what we grew up on
(what we grew up on)
(what we grew up on)
(what we grew up on)
[bridge]
they were some of the best years of my life
now every time i drive
it takes me right back home
to what we grew up on, yeah
what we grew up on, oh, yeah
[chorus]
oh, we grew up when forever was highways together
and love was the long way home
we grew up when freedom was sixteen dreamin’ of
late nights and open roads
yeah, foot down in an old ford
runnin’ wild all summer long
that’s what we grew up on
[post+chorus]
(what we grew up on) oh, yeah
(what we grew up on) oh
(what we grew up on)
oh, that’s what we grew up on
(what we grew up on) oh
(what we grew up on) oh, yeah
(what we grew up on)
that’s what we grew up on
