Grew Up On That

High Valley's 'Grew Up On That' is a nostalgic country song that reflects on a rural upbringing rooted in faith, family, and simple traditions. The lyrics recall memories of church, the King James Bible, and the values learned from childhood. While it mentions seeing the light in a little white church, the song is more about cherishing a way of life than explicit worship or Christian doctrine. It celebrates the goodness of growing up with strong moral foundations and community ties.

Bow your head, take off your hat, 'bout to say the blessin'

Treat her like a lady, better get her home by eleven

Put a little back, keep a little stash for them rainy days

Keep a good name, that's the way we were raised on


Them main streets, them tractor seats

We put some country miles on

Them Friday nights, wide-open skies

Back forty, gettin' our wild on

Sweet by-and-by, I saw the light

In a little white church way in the back

Grew up, grew up, grew up on that


Ricky Skaggs on the vinyl

King James on the bible

Feet on the dash with ourselves in the back

We grew up on that


Big dreams on a dirt road with a small town sun sinkin'

Barbed wire, bonfires, one red light blinkin'

Home team, blue jeans, let her wear your jacket

Had it so good, didn't know how good we had it, oh


Them main streets, them tractor seats

We put some country miles on

Them Friday nights, wide-open skies

Back forty, gettin' our wild on

Sweet by-and-by, I saw the light

In a little white church way in the back

Grew up, grew up, grew up on that


Ricky Skaggs on the vinyl

King James on the bible

Feet on the dash with ourselves in the back

We grew up on that


Them main streets, them tractor seats

We put some country miles on (we put some country miles on)

Them Friday nights, wide-open skies

Back forty, gettin' our wild on (back forty, gettin' our wild on)

Sweet by-and-by, I saw the light

In a little white church way in the back

Grew up, grew up, grew up on that


Ricky Skaggs on the vinyl

King James on the bible

Feet on the dash with ourselves in the back

We grew up on that


Grew up, grew up, grew up on that

Grew up, grew up, grew up on that

Grew up, grew up, grew up on that
