Lyrics of Jacob Connor – Old Familiar Ground

You see that dot on the map right there
That’s where we learned to play guitars
Learned to drive our cars
Broke some girl’s hearts
First beers, shed tears, happened all right there
You see that lil’ high school right there
Next to town square
That’s where we all went to learn
Before life started to take those crazy turns

It’s where we all grew up
Where we all remain
Where we all had kids
And carried on our names
Girls said yes
Boys bought those rings
Girls changed names
Had babies and changed everything
In our hometown
Our kids will probably bury us into that old familiar ground

You see the beautiful woman right there
The one with the hazel eyes and long brown hair
Her and I decided to make a life
With a diamond and I do
Became a husband and a wife

You see this dirt all fenced in right here
It’s where we both wanted just a little more
This is where two became four

It’s where we all grew up
Where we all remain
Where we all had kids
And carried on our names
Girls said yes
Boys bought those rings
Girls changed names
Had babies and changed everything
In our hometown
Our kids will probably bury us into that old familiar ground
That familiar ground in our small town
Oh, our roots grow deep into that ground
