Austin Jenckes Fat Kid Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Was it Tuesday night spaghetti dinners—
Mama said grace, Daddy did a whiskey shot?
Up in your room learning Skynyrd and Hendrix
On a cheap guitar, windows open, smoking pot?
Tomorrow you've got a chemistry test and you ain't gonna pass
A whole lot's changed but really nothing's changed looking back

[Chorus 1]
Ain't life just like high school sometimes?
Probably sitting in the back of a cafeteria by yourself
Feeling like a fast girl, the math nerd, the fat kid
If you grew up in a small town in a big world like I did
If you grew up like I did

[Verse 2]
Was it dirt roads that you lived for on a Friday night?
A Texaco rose walking up to her front door?
Was it parking lots and freedom, and Busch Light?
Knowing that the way you felt was a way you never felt before?
That summer before your senior year you lost a damn good friend Finally on a Sunday morning you learned how to say "Amen"

[Chorus 1]
Ain't life just like high school sometimes?
Probably sitting in the back of a cafeteria by yourself
Feeling like a fast girl, the math nerd, the fat kid
If you grew up in a small town in a big world like I did
If you grew up like I did
If you grew up like I did
Ooo yeah
[Chorus 2]
Ain't life just like high school sometimes?
Probably sitting in the back of a cafeteria by yourself
Well ain't we all the QB, the prom queen, rooting for the home team
Feeling like a fast girl, the math nerd, the fat kid
If you grew up in a nowhere town in an anywhere world like I did
If you grew up like I did
If you grew up like I did
Ooo yeah
If you grew up
If you grew up like I did
