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
