Used to tell my dad I want a be just like you
He said son no you don't I got problems you don't want
So I watched all the good threw out all the bad
And tried to be the best version of me and my Dad
And my mama always said save that money it don't grow back
And I never listened cause I'd rather spend that hard earned cash
She said son one day you'll see this life is harder then it looks
I didn't believe her till I had to walk out on that girl

Take me down the road that leads to mamas house
Cause I don't wanna be in this old town
Take me back to 15
When I thought I was rough tough and mean
When the only care in the world was getting that girl
Oh I want to go back I want to go back
Cause I grew up way to fast

My two little brothers won't admit it but they look up to me
And it's hard for me to say it but they'll be better then I'll ever be
When you've got family as strong as a million woven strings
It's hard as hell for one to grow up and leave

Take me down the road that leads to mamas house
Cause I don't wanna be in this old town
Take me back to 15
When I thought I was rough tough and mean
When the only care in the world was getting that girl
Oh I want to go back I want to go back
Cause I grew up way to fast

From begging mom for 5 more minutes
To working hard to make that payment
We all grow up and we all move on
Saying we'll be fine on our own

Take me down the road that leads to mamas house
Cause I don't wanna be in this old town
Take me back to 15
When I thought I was rough tough and mean
When the only care in the world was getting that girl
Oh I want to go back I want to go back
Cause I grew up way to fast
