This is the second track on the Home EP and follows the feelings of childish pride and the confidence that comes with being a child; childhood/elementary school.
lyrics
You can try to cut us down from the very place we stand
But we are held on by the roots of where we first began
You know
It's how the story goes
We were skipping stones on a concrete pond
We were loving every minute before the moment's gone
You Know
Just how it goes
Just having fun
It's how we live
It's where we came from
Just being Natives
We were climbing trees in our friends' backyards
We were playing in the streets until it got too dark
And you know
We're doing fine
With the sunsets on the Tennessee sky
And our mothers' saying "Son don't let the bed bugs bite"
And we know
She knows we're alright
Just having fun
It's how we live
It's where we came from
Just being Natives
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Growing up wasn't half this hard
Life is tough
We can make it far
Just having fun
It's how we live
It's where we came from
Just being Natives
