“What I love most about this music video is it is spot on what I love to do and how I grew up, hanging with all my buddies on the river and just having a good time! I hope that it helps people in Louisiana and the whole country in this crazy time we’re all going through together. Hope it reminds people of the fun we will be having again soon. “

Ground I Grew Up On Lyrics
[Verse 1]
That ain’t just dirt
That ain’t just dust blowin’
That ain’t just nothin’ but an old fishin’ hole
Ain’t just some rooster crowin’
It’s where I learned how to be a boy
Washed in the blood and red dirt mud
Kinda glad I didn’t have a choice
[Pre-Chorus]
So girl just kick back in that shotgun
Let me show you where I’m from
Girl where I’m from
[Chorus]
Might look like nothin’ but gravel roads
And tractors rollin’ over them fields
And prayin’ that we get a little rain soon
And cuttin’ loose in hand me down wheels
And knockin’ them Friday night beers back
By the train tracks and thinkin’ that
I’d never miss this place when I got gone
But that’s the ground I grew up on
Yeah that’s the ground I grew up on
[Verse 2]
Girl don’t blink
You might miss it all
It’s where I could fix anything I broke but the law
It was hard to leave
Girl that’s the truth
But you know if I’d stuck around this little town I’d never found you
[Chorus]
Might look like nothin’ but gravel roads
And tractors rollin’ over them fields
And prayin’ that we get a little rain soon
And cuttin’ loose in hand me down wheels
And knockin’ them Friday night beers back
By the train tracks and thinkin’ that
I’d never miss this place when I got gone
But lookin’ back I couldn’t have been more wrong
But that’s ground I grew up on
Yeah that’s the ground I grew up on
[Bridge]
Where the tales are as tall as the corn grows
Baby who knows if we’re lucky
Maybe one day at our back door
[Chorus]
Might look like nothin’ but gravel roads
And tractors rollin’ over them fields
And prayin’ that we get a little rain soon
And cuttin’ loose in hand me down wheels
And knockin’ them Friday night beers back
By the train tracks and thinkin’ that
I’d never miss this place when I got gone
But lookin’ back I couldn’t have been more wrong
‘Cause that’s the ground I grew up on
Yeah that’s the ground I grew up on
