Girl Where He Grew Up

(앨범: Slide - 2022)

No he didn't try to kiss you on the first date, did he
I bet he opens up your door in his F-150
He didn't act that way back when he was with me
And I need you to know why
'Cause girl I'm the girl who

Took him to school, showed him the way
When he would slip up, I gave him grace
I put in the hours, I paid the bill
I didn't get the flowers but you will

Brought him to church, taught him to pray
How not to run and why he should stay
So you can thank me if that boy knows how to love
It's cause I'm the girl where he grew up

I bet out of the blue, he tells you you're pretty
I bet he checks in when he's out late with his buddies
I bet his eyes don't wander when he's drinking whiskey
Yeah he learned it the hard way
The moment he lost me

Took him to school, showed him the way
When he would slip up, I gave him grace
I put in the hours, I paid the bill
I didn't get the flowers but you will

Brought him to church, taught him to pray
How not to run and why he should stay
So you can thank me if that boy knows how to love
It's cause I'm the girl where he grew up
I'm the girl where he grew up

And when he takes you to his hometown
Holds up a handful of cornfield dust
That might be where he came from
But that ain't where he grew up

Yeah I took him to school, showed him the way
He didn't want to, I made him change
I put in the hours, I paid the bill
I didn't get the flowers but you will

I brought him to church, taught him to pray
How not to run and why he should stay
So you can thank me if that boy knows how to love
It's cause I'm the girl where he grew up
I'm the girl that he messed up
And I put up with him
When you would've gave up

Yeah I'm the girl where he grew up
