where country grows

have you ever rode a dirt road with the windows rolled down

smelling that honeysuckle vine

riding for no reason and you're lookin' not seeing

a house but every few miles

have you ever been rockin' on the porch with your daddy

watchin the world turn slow

that's where country grows

it's in the hearts of those who know what life's all about

it's laying your head on your pillow and fallin' to sleep proud

you bow your head to jesus cause he's where it all comes from

and you know he'll forgive you for the wrong you've done

ooh

it's in the earth and the church and the words that we speak slow

that's where country grows

have you ever seen a young boy open up the door

for an old lady walkin' in slow

or a shoe polish heart on a second hand car

saying shelly loves billy" on the window
