Grow Old
Florida Georgia Line Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say "we'll always work it out"
I know it's kinda scary
But it's only temporary doubt
I've done a lot of stupid things
But promise that you're gonna stay long enough to grow old with me
We're gonna see the good times love each other through the bad
It's gonna hurt like hell when we lose our moms and dads
Walk beside me through the years
Baby let's see, where this love could lead
Let's hold hands on your favorite beach
Fix up a house that we found in the city limits
Tangled up in a satin sheet
And get a little loud when we've had to much to drink
And learn to love from a church pew
Laugh about all the times we counted pennies
Buy some land with a good view
To start a family
Baby grow old with me
It's gonna take a little time we'll have to work at it everyday
We're gonna lose a lot of sleep and learn to eat out of a microwave
You know we'll probably never have it all
But that's part of building up the walls strong enough to stand up through the rain
We'll make some love on your favorite beach
And at the house that we found in the city limits
Talk our babies through the bad dreams
When they get a little older we'll tell them not to drink
Book a church when she finds a groom
Laugh about all the times they'll count the pennies
Give them land with a good view
To start a family
And baby you know we might take a turn down a back road, maybe go where the wind blows baby,
But end up right where we were meant to be
Back and forth on a porch swing
Hard not to smile thinking how it don't get much better
Our babies, babies turning 18
What a family
Baby grow old with me
Baby grow old with me
Baby grow old with me
Tell me that you love me
Say "we'll always work it out"
Florida Georgia Line's "Grow Old" is a romantic ballad about a couple who are dearest to each other and would be with each other throughout the entirety of their lives, no matter what happens. In the first stanza, the singer is asking the addressee to promise to stay with them as they grow old together. They acknowledge the anxieties and fears that may arise in their journey, but they want their partner to reassure them that everything would work out fine. They further promise to love each other through the good times and the bad, even through the pain that comes with losing loved ones. The singer wants to be there for their loved one, to hold their hands, and to comfort them during tough times, to cherish every moment they spend together.
In the second stanza, they describe the experiences they wish to have together as they grow old with each other. They want to hold hands on the beach, fix up a house, and get a little loud when they've had a little too much to drink. They want to learn to love from a church pew, reminisce about the times they struggled, and buy a piece of land to start a family. The singer acknowledges that it will take time and effort to build a strong and lasting relationship, but they will be together every step of the way.
In the third stanza, the couple dreams about their future and the family they will build together. They will work hard, sacrifice sleep, and face many challenges, but they will do it all with love and dedication. They will make love, raise children, help them through their struggles, and build a joyful family. In the end, the couple imagines themselves sitting on a porch swing and reminiscing about their long and fulfilling lives together and the family they built.

Let's work on a house in the city we found
Tangled up in a satin sheet
Intimacy under luxurious sheets
And get a little loud when we've had to much to drink
Have some fun and be a little loud when we've had too much to drink
And learn to love from a church pew
Learn to appreciate love and life from a church
Laugh about all the times we counted pennies
Remember and laugh about the times when we were short on money
Buy some land with a good view
Get some land with a beautiful view
To start a family

We need to work at our relationship everyday and be patient
We're gonna lose a lot of sleep and learn to eat out of a microwave

You know we'll probably never have it all
Realistically, we won't have everything we desire
But that's part of building up the walls strong enough to stand up through the rain
But we'll work hard to build a strong and resilient foundation for our relationship
And baby you know we might take a turn down a back road, maybe go where the wind blows baby,
We might take risks and follow our heart's desires, even if it's not the norm
But end up right where we were meant to be
But ultimately, we'll end up where we were meant to be
Back and forth on a porch swing
Sharing good times on a porch swing
Hard not to smile thinking how it don't get much better
It's hard not to be happy knowing things can't get much better
Our babies, babies turning 18
Our future generation turning 18
What a family
We'll have a great family
Baby grow old with me
Let's grow old together
Baby grow old with me
Let's grow old together
Baby grow old with me
Let's grow old together

I love these guys! Every time I get upset, crying and when I feel like an anxiety or panic attack is about to start, I listen to FGL and their music calms me down. It also puts me in a good mood. I will love to see FGL in concert someday..and meet them in person.

David Johnson
Every time I hear this song it reminds me of every time I have failed my wife in the smallest way.
It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
But it also makes me strive to be a better person for her because she deserves the world.
