Brother's in the backyard diggin' in the dirt
Mama's in the kitchen in an old t-shirt
Daddy's diesel's comin' up the street
And she's in her bedroom growin' her wings
Ready to run in her headphones
Pretty in pink on all ten toes, nose in a Cosmo magazine
All the junk mama says, she's too young to read
Little do they know she's growin' her wings
They got her whole life on lock-down
Doing time behind her bedroom door
I guess it's alright for right now
But outside her window
There's so much more room for runnin'
And space to discover a whole wide world to see
She's dreamin' about the girl she's gonna be
Stuck in Rice County, growin' her wings
The neighbor boy taught her how to French kiss
And daddy's got eyes in the back of his head
He said, no datin' 'til you're 18
Now she's in her room grounded, growin' her wings
They got her whole life on lock-down
Doing time behind her bedroom door
I guess it's alright for right now
But outside her window
There's so much more room for runnin'
And space to discover a whole wide world to see
She's dreamin' about the girl she's gonna be
Stuck in Rice County, growin' her wings
She wants to fly and never look down
But tonight she's tucked inside a tiny little town
In a little twin bed, all safe and sound
And there's so much more room for runnin'
And space to discover, a whole wide world to see
She's dreamin' about the girl that she's gonna be
Stuck in Rice County, growin' her wings
Growin' her wings
