the juxtaposition of just kind of getting older and looking back at your life and going, never, in a million years, thought I would be where I am. Just a little less jack up my truck Oh, I guess Im growing up, growing up the longer I live Growing up, dont know as much as I thought I did, no, no Post-Chorus Ooh, no, no, no Chorus Guess you get a little older, get a little wiser A little more turn that cheek Little less what I want, and more what I need these days, I Still get a. And that's just kind of life these days. I remember, even yesterday, I was driving in downtown Nashville, looking at these pedal taverns and these party buses with people just screaming, and I was like, "Man, if I was 19 years old, I'd probably be right there with them." And now I'm like, but I'm not - I'm, you know, driving a minivan and taking my kids back home. And I think a lot of my fan base has kind of been with me since I was, like, 19, and I think a lot of people relate to that song because we can all go back to our 19-year-old selves and remember how dumb we were, and all of a sudden, you're 25, married, with three kids, and you've got to grow up - you're forced to. I noticed, every few years, there's certain things in my lifestyle that changes, and they just kind of remind me of like, man, you are just, every year, growing up and wising up and maturing a little bit. I'm still the kid I was, just a little less Jack in my cup. That's kind of where the inspiration of that song came from, especially that first line. You are, like, wearing the front swaddle now with your kid on the beach - you have officially moved into a different level of dad-ness." It's just like, every few years, there's, like, little dad-isms inside of me, where I wake up and I'm like, "Gosh, dude, you're getting old. Man, you know, as many things I would love to tell my 19-year-old self, I probably wouldn't tell him, because then he wouldn't make the mistakes that he should have made to to come on the other side of those victorious.īut, that song, I'd had that title in my phone for a while, and I wrote that song with a few of my buddies out on the road.
