Testo Growing Up Like That - Rodney Atkins

Testo della canzone Growing Up Like That (Rodney Atkins), tratta dall'album Take A Back Road

I was twelve years old with some bolts and a wrench

A piece of plywood that was three quarter inch

And daddy said son when your chores are done

I'll give you one of them Chris old barn poles

I went out in the pasture with no cow patties

Got some post hole diggers and I got after it

Had some sun on my back and a blister on my hand

But man I had myself a go, haha

I dribbled that ball till the grass was gone

The bumpy ground was brown and flat

And me and daddy played horse and the cows all mooed and we laughed

I was lucky and I didn't even know it growing up like that

I learned the birds and the bees from the cats and the dogs

And a frog starts out as a polly wog

The best blackberry cobbler's made from scratch

And worth every one you get from the briar patch

I found out firewood'll warm you twice

Once when you cut it and once when you light it

And I can't help but smile when I look back

Cause I was lucky and I didn't even know it growing up like that

There was an old wooden barrel behind my grandpa's house

Where we threw out our tater peels and coffee grounds

Say you wanna catch catfish as long as your arm

Son you gotta have a night crawler farm

And we'd sit on the dock and share a bottle of pop

Catch a few and then head on back

And me and daddy cleaned fish while the cats meowed and we laughed

I was lucky and I didn't even know it growing up like that

I learned the birds and the bees from the cats and the dogs

And a frog starts out as a polly wog

The best blackberry cobbler's made from scratch

And worth every one you get from the briar patch

Now if you ever got sugar in a hot hayloft

And you still can't believe y'all didn't get caught

You close your eyes and smile when you look back

Then you were lucky and you didn't even know it growing up like that

You learn the birds and the bees from the cats and the dogs

And the skinny dipping beats anything you ever saw

The best blackberry cobbler's made from scratch

And worth every one you get from the briar patch

Now sometimes me and her still slip off

To that cozy little corner in the old hayloft

Taste the honeysuckle on her lips off the beaten path, woah

Cause I'm lucky and baby I know it

I'm doing my best there to show it

Aw you never really do outgrow it growing up like that

You like good cold beer and picking guitar

And you really don't care about being a star

You just do it cause you love it and you love it cause you do it

Shuck cobs on the porch

Till somebody show up with some cornrow boards, yeah
