Half a tank in a hand me down Rolling with my best friends We'd never left our home town So we took off with no plans And we played Scratched up burnt CDs 90s on repeat Feet up on that dash And rolled them Windows way down low Didn't know where we'd go But hell we didn't look back Cause we grew up When forever was highways together And love was the long way home We grew up When freedom was 16 dreaming of late nights and open roads Foot down in an old ford Running wild all summer long Thats what we grew up on Rolled up in that 94 To take her out on our first date Picked her up at the front door And her old man said don't be to late Then we went Cruising under stars Nervous beating hearts Her hand wrapped in mine Then she moved In with cheery lips Man that was my first kiss And I won't forget that night Cause we grew up When forever was highways together And love was the long way home We grew up When freedom was 16 dreaming of late nights and open roads Foot down in an old ford Running wild all summer long Thats what we grew up on What we grew up on They were some of the best years of my life Now every time I drive It takes me right back home. To what we grew up on What we grew up on We grew up When forever was highways together And love was the long way home We grew up When freedom was 16 dreaming of late nights and open roads Foot down in an old ford Running wild all summer long Thats what we grew up on Thats what we grew up on Thats what we grew up on
