  Growing up on southern time

   D5           A5                 Ab5                        
  Sipping lemonade, while we're playin' in the water

    G5                        C5

   G5                          D5
  Mama's in the kitchen in an old t-shirt

  And she's in her bedroom growing her wings

   G5               C5
  Ready to Run in her headphones
    G5                D5
  Pretty in pink on all ten toes
   G5                   C5
  Nose in a Cosmo magazine

  All the junk mama says, she's too young to read

  I guess it's alright for right now
          G5                       D5
  But outside her window there's so much
        E5                    C5
  More room for running and space to discover
      G5                  C5

  Stuck in Rice County, growing her wings

 
       G5                       C5
  The neighbor boy taught her how to French kiss
       G5                       D5
  And daddy's got eyes in the back of his head
      G5                               C5
  He said, no dating 'til you're eighteen
       G5                            D5          G5
  Now she?s in her room grounded, growing her wings


           E5                 C5
  They got her whole life on lockdown
         G5                        D5

         E5          C5           G5               D5

 Intro:     A5       D5    x2

  A5
 Picked a wild flower off the side of the road 
      D5
 You put it in my hair 
  A5
 Two bare feet up on the dashboard
        D5
 Hands waving through the summer air 
  A5
 Looking at you, looking at me 
           D5
 With the wind strapped to our backs

 Flying as high as the bird in the sky

 Heart beats beating to the radio

 Kisses as sweet as the honey

 Down to Tupelo

 All the way down to Tupelo

 
  A5
 Counting the white lines mile by mile
  D5
 Worries slipping away 
  A5
 Took a back road for a little slow down 
     D5
 Off of the interstate
     A5
 We followed the river as far as it goes 
     D5
 Smiling in the July sun 
  B5                     A5
 Hearing you say you're falling in love 
         E5                  A5
 I said you ain?t the only one
 

         A5
 And we sang all the way down to Tupelo

 Love struck right on the money

 Heart beats beating to the radio

 Kisses as sweet as the honey 
     A5           D5
 Down to Tupelo
               
 All the way down

 La la la la la la

 Wind strapped to our backs

 La la la la la la

 Intro:     D5      G5    x2

D5            B5
 Back in '41 you met a brown eyed boy 
G5                    D5
 Who called you pretty
                    B5                                G5
 He'd walk everyday a couple miles out of his way to hold your hand 
                     D5
 And  keep you company

      B5               G5               D5
 Your mama said don't call it love at 14
      G5                            A5
 But sitting on that front porch swing
 

                  D5
 He gave you his picture in a locket that you wore around your neck 
          B5
 Left it right beside your heart so you would not forget 
      G5                             D5
 The way it felt when he held your hand

 And you swore that you would never take it off
         B5
 And the butterflies you felt said it all
  G5                                            D5
 You were falling with the boy inside your locket
 

D5                   B5
 Back in '43 your brown eyed boy went over seas 
      G5                               D5 
 And had to leave town for a little while
                         B5    
 He swore he'd marry you as soon as the war was through
  G5                D5
 You would be his wife

   B5             G5        D5
 Standing in the pouring rain
       G5                             A5
 You cried as you watched him ride away
           B5     A5
 But everyday
 

              D5
 You had his picture in a locket that you wore around your neck
          B5
 Left it right beside your heart so you would not forget
      G5                           D5
 The way his kiss tasted on your lips

 And everyday felt like a lifetime with him gone
           B5
 And you prayed that God would bring him safely home
             G5                                     D5
 'Cause you made a promise to the boy inside your locket

   
     B5        G5                        D5                           A5
 Oh, 60 years you two had together and he's been gone for a couple now
          B5                          G5
 And it breaks my heart to see you struggle to remember
  D5                              A5
 And I've been writing all your memories down 
            G5               D5
 And I stopped by today to read a couple pages
   B5                        D5
 Grandma, you sure look pretty
           G5          D5        G5               D5               G5
 And you smile that smile, the one I haven't seen in quite a while
          A5
 And you said to me, I want you to keep 


      D5
 His picture in a locket that I wore around my neck
            B5
 The one I left beside my heart so I would not forget
       G5                                            D5
 The greatest love and the greatest man I've ever known

 But it's getting time for me to head on home 
                  B5
 She said, that brown eyed boy is waiting and I don't wanna keep him long
  G5
 Heaven is calling, and she said, my heart is longing
                          D5       G5      D5     G5
 For the boy inside your locket
