Ground I Grew Up On

C||| F|||



[Verse 1]
 C
That ain't just dirt, That ain't just dust blowin'
                  F
That ain't just nothin' but an old fishin' hole, Ain't just some rooster crowin'
                C                                   F
It's where I learned how to be a boy, Washed in the blood and red dirt mud, Kinda glad I didn't 
have a choice


[Pre-Chorus]
   Am      G                 F
So girl just kick back in that shotgun
F
Let me show you where I'm from
F
Girl where I'm from


[Chorus]
      F
Might look like nothin' but gravel roads and tractors rollin' over them fields
     C
And prayin' that we get a little rain soon
     C
And cuttin' loose in hand me down wheels
     F
And knockin' them Friday night beers back
       F                                 Am             G             F
By the train tracks and thinkin' that, I'd never miss this place when I got gone
C
But that's ground I grew up on
      F
Yeah that's the ground I grew up on


[Verse 2]
            C
Girl don't blink you might miss it all
                   F
It's where I could fix anything I broke but the law
                C
It was hard to leave, girl that's the truth
                    F
but ya know if I'd stuck around this little town I'd never found you


[Chorus]
       F
Might look like nothin' but gravel roads and tractors rollin' over them fields
     C
And prayin' that we get a little rain soon
     C
And cuttin' loose in hand me down wheels
     F
And knockin' them Friday night beers back
       F                                 Am             G             F
By the train tracks and thinkin' that, I'd never miss this place when I got gone
C
But that's ground I grew up on
      F
Yeah that's the ground I grew up on


[Bridge]
           Am        G              F
Where the tales are as tall as the corn grows
F
Baby who knows if we’re lucky
F
Maybe one day at our back door


[Chorus]
       F
Might look like nothin' but gravel roads and tractors rollin' over them fields
     C
And prayin' that we get a little rain soon
     C
And cuttin' loose in hand me down wheels
     F
And knockin' them Friday night beers back
       F                                 Am             G             F
By the train tracks and thinkin' that, I'd never miss this place when I got gone
     Am           G                     F
But lookin’ back I couldn’t have been more wrong
C
But that's ground I grew up on
      F
Yeah that's the ground I grew up on
