Intro:
[A/C#]
A couple miles we’re almost there
Smack dab in the middle of nowhere
This old place will always feel like home
Man this town has really changed
But I swear it feels the same
All up and down these roads we roamed
I wanna show you
The livin’ that I’ve done
Just let me show you
Where it is that I come from. Right here!
This is where I disc[A/C#]overed love
And where I learned about the One above
And where I was young and crazy
This is where I [A/C#]became a man
I faced those demons and I took my stand
And where I learned your heart could be broken
And this is where it all went down
This is my old stompin’ ground
[A/C#]
Over there’s where I played ball
Man I felt about ten feet tall
When I came up to bat they’d all back up
There we’d hide by the light of the moon
And hit the cars with the water ballons
Right there I swear I rolled my truck
I wanna show you
The livin’ that I’ve done
Just let me show you
Where it is that I come from. Right here!
This is where I disc[A/C#]overed love
And where I learned about the One above
And where I was young and crazy
This is where I [A/C#]became a man
I faced those demons and I took my stand
And where I learned your heart could be broken
And this is where it all went down
This is my old stompin’ ground
And I’ll never lose those feelings or memories
They’re a part of me, my legacy. It’s my history
This is where I [A/C#]learned to fight
I felt the heat until I saw the light
And where I learned that sometimes you don’t win
This is where I found [A/C#]my best friend
We stuck together through thick and thin
I can’t believe the things we did back then
[A/C#]
This is where I discovered love
And where I learned about the One above
And where I was young and crazy
And this is where it all went down
This is my old stompin’ ground [A/C#] My stompin’ ground
This is my old stompin’ ground [A/C#] My old stompin’ ground
