Was it Tuesday night, spaghetti dinners
Mama said grace while Daddy did a whiskey shot
Then up in your room learning Skynyrd
Hendrix on a cheap guitar, window open, smoking pot

Tomorrow you’ve got a chemistry test you know you ain’t gonna pass
A whole lots changed but nothing’s changed looking back

Ain’t life just like high school sometimes
Probably sitting in the back of the cafeteria by yourself
Feeling like the 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

Was it dirt roads that you lived for on Friday night?
A Texaco rose walking up the stairs to her front door
Was it parking lots and freedom and bud light?
Knowing that the way you felt was a way you never felt before

That summer before your senior year you lost a damn good friend
And finally on a Sunday morning you learned how to say amen

Ain’t life just like high school sometimes
Probably sitting in the back of the cafeteria by yourself
Feeling like the 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
If you grew up like I did

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 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 
If you grew up like I did

If you grew up 
If you grew up like I did
