Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Was it Tuesday night spaghetti dinners?
Mama said grace,  daddy did a whiskey shot
Up in your room learning Skynyrd
And Hendrix on a cheap guitar
Windows open, smoking pot
[Verse 2]
Tomorrow you've got a chemistry test
And you ain't gonna pass
A whole lot's changed but really nothing changed
Looking back
[Verse 3]
Ain't life just like high school sometimes?
Probably sitting in the back of the cafeteria by yourself
Feeling like the fast girl
The math nerd, the fat kid
If you grew up in a small town
In a big world like I did
If you grew up like I did
[Verse 4]
Was it dirt roads that you lived for on Friday night?
A Texaco rose walking up to her front door
Was it parking lots and freedom and Busch Light
Knowing that the way you felt
Was a way you never felt before
[Verse 5]
That summer before your senior year
You lost a damn good friend
And finally on a Sunday morning
You learned how to say amen
[Verse 6]
Ain't life just like high school sometimes?
Probably sitting in the back of the cafeteria by yourself
Feeling like the fast girl
The math nerd, the fat kid
If you grew up in a small town
In a big world like I did
If you grew up like I did
Yeah, if you grew up like I did
[Verse 7]
Ain't life just like high school sometimes?
Probably sitting in the back of the cafeteria by yourself
Ain't we all the QB
The prom queen rooting for the home team
Feeling like the fast girl
The math nerd, the fat kid
If you grew up in a nowhere town
In an anywhere world like I did
If you grew up like I did
[Verse 8]
If you grew up like I did
Ooh, yeah
If you grew up
If you grew up like I did
