Lyrics

Growin Up In This Town
Terry Kincaid and Mariam
© BMI 2006

Time was wastin?, everything was too slow
When we were growin? up in that town
One stop light in front of Johnson?s soda bar
And lots of pretty girls hangin? round
Friday night, football games
Every boy lookin? for a little fame
Touchdowns were on all of our minds
Saturday mornings time to unwind

Chorus
Growin? up in this town
Growin? up in this town
Growin? up in this town

No one checkin? what we were doin?
We had life by the tail
Never did too much that caused any problem
Nobody got hauled off to jail
Takin? chances every way that we could
Black top flyin? by just like Hollywood
Swingin from the ropes out over the lake
Just learnin? the lessons, makin? a few mistakes

Chorus

Bridge
Just lookin? at life like it was gonna? last forever
Nothin? to lose as long as we stick together

Chorus
