[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D G
Half a tank in a hand me down
Bm A
Rolling with my best friends
D G
We'd never left our hometown
Bm A
So we took off with no plans
A
And we played
D
Scratched up burnt CDs
G
90s on repeat
Bm A
Feet up on that dash
A
And rolled them
D
Windows way down low
G
Didn't know where we'd go
Bm A
But hell we didn't look back
[Chorus]
N.C. D
Cause we grew up
G
When forever was highways together
Bm A
And love was the long way home
D
We grew up
G
When freedom was 16 dreaming of
Bm A
Late nights and open roads
A
'Yeah'
D G
Foot down in an old ford
Bm A
Running wild all summer long
D
That's what we grew up on
[Verse 2]
D G
Rolled up in that 94
Bm A
To take her out on our first date
D G
Picked her up at the front door
Bm A
And her old man said don't be to late
A
Then we went
D
Cruising under stars
G
Nervous beating hearts
Bm A
Her hand wrapped in mine
A
Then she moved
D
In with cherry lips
G
Man that was my first kiss
Bm A
And I won't forget that night
[Chorus]
A D
Cause we grew up
G
When forever was highways together
Bm A
And love was the long way home
D
We grew up
G
When freedom was 16 dreaming of
Bm A
Late nights and open roads
D G
Foot down in an old ford
Bm A
Running wild all summer long
D
That's what we grew up on
[Bridge]
G
'What we grew up on'
Bm
'What we grew up on'
A
'What we grew up on'
D
'What we grew up on'
G
'What we grew up on'
Bm
'What we grew up on'
A
'What we grew up on'
G
They were some of the best years of my life
A
Now every time I drive
Bm A G
It takes me right back home
D
To what we grew up on
G Bm
'Yeah'
A D
What we grew up on
G Bm A
'Oh Yeah'
[Chorus]
N.C. D
We grew up
G
When forever was highways together
Bm A
And love was the long way home
D
We grew up
G
When freedom was 16 dreaming of
Bm A
Late nights and open roads
A
'Yeah'
D G
Foot down in an old ford
Bm A
Running wild all summer long
D G Bm
That's what we grew up on
[Outro]
A
'What we grew up on'
D
'What we grew up on'
G
'What we grew up on'
Bm
That's what we grew up on
A
'What we grew up on'
D
That's what we grew up on
