Jon Lodge - Growing Up East Coast Lyrics

Growing up on ground
Where my dad he raised
Ten different kinds of hell
Back in his younger days
Yeah he ran the streets
So wild and so free
A small town country boy
Had a world to see

He left for the city
The lights that were so bright

Growing up East coast
Has its perks you see
Small towns all around
Connecting you and me
And in the big city
Things they aren't the same
For a small town country boy
It's hard to explain

Fast forward some years
That country boy he knew
A mistake had been made
That he could undo
He grabbed his wife and kids
Went out on the road
Driving back to a place
He wanted them to know

Cause in the big city
Things they just weren't right

Growing up East coast
Has its perks you see
Small towns all around
Connecting you and me
And in the big city
Things they aren't the same
For a small town country boy
It's hard to explain

Going
Back to the ground
Where my dad was raised
Shaped me into the man
That I am today

Growing up East coast
Has its perks you see
Small towns all around
Connecting you and me
And in the big city
Things they aren't the same
For a small town country boy
It's hard to explain

Yeah the big city
And its lights so bright
Cant hold a candle to
A starlit country night
