Have you ever rode a dirt road with the windows rolled down
Smelling that honeysuckle vine?
Riding for no reason and you're looking, not seeing
A house but every few miles
Have you ever been rocking
On the porch with your daddy?
Watching the world turn slow, oh
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 falling 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
Oh, 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 walking in slow?
Or a shoe polish heart on a second hand car
Saying 'Shelly loves Billy' on the window?
Have you ever heard
A mama cry saying goodbye?
But she knows her soldiers gotta go, oh
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 falling 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
Oh, it's in the earth and the church
And the words that we speak slow, that's where country grows
Oh, you bow your head to Jesus
'Cause He's where it all comes from
In the end He'll forgive us
For the wrong we've done
Oh, it's in the earth and the church
And the words that we speak slow
That's where country grows
That's where country grows
Have you ever heard a song
That changed your life
Coming through the radio?
That's where country grows
