"Things You Don't Grow Out Of" Lyrics

I still love the smell of mama's house
Something's cooking on the stove
I still hug her neck when it's time to go
Leavin's always tough
'Cause there's some things you don't grow out of

I made a name here in this town
With my right arm underneath the lights
And the trophies take me back to those Friday nights
I can't bring myself to box them up
Yeah there's some things you don't grow out of

Like your mama's love,
Your biggest dream
That little town you had to leave,
And all of those sweet memories
Of growing up wild and free
Sunday morning ringing bells,
The preacher's words,
The way you felt
And to this day I get my help
From up above
Yeah there's some things you don't grow out of

Well I'm older now and I've seen some things
I've learned that life can sure be mean,
But I try not to let the world rub off on me
I remember where I come from
Oh yeah there's some things you don't grow out of

Like the lessons learned
From the time you spent
With your grandpa
Just you and him
The innocence of another time
I still go back there in my mind
Sunday morning ringing bells,
The preacher's words,
The way you felt
And to this day I get my help
From up above
Yeah there's some things you don't grow out of
Yeah there's some things you don't grow out of

Like your mama's love,
Your biggest dream,
That little town you had to leave,
And all of those sweet memories
Of growing up wild and free
Sunday morning ringing bells,
The preacher's words,
The way you felt
And to this day I get my help
From up above
Yeah there's some things,
Oh there's some things you don't grow out of
