[Verse 1]
I grew up
son of a fireman,
painting houses,
mowing lawns
All I wanted
was a better life,
for him and mama,
hell for us all
[Verse 2]
Yeah I was grinding,
I moved to California,
looking for that pot of gold
Then to Nashville,
me and a buddy,
wrote a song y’all know
By time that I made it,
was gone
[Chorus]
Now I buy him that by river
wake up morning and cast a line
I back that his driveway
only thing I guess I couldn’t buy,
was more time
[Verse 3]
I guess didn’t I,
ain’t just Egypt,
I was swimming in
The whole time,
I knew then,
I been,
back Dallas
By his side,
[Pre-Chorus]
I was grinding, whole time
[Chorus]
Now I buy him that by river
wake up morning and cast a line
I back that his driveway
only thing I guess I couldn’t buy,
was more time
I grew up,
son of a fireman,
painting houses,
mowing lawns
