Scotty McCreery – It’ll Grow On Ya

About the song

“It’ll Grow On Ya” by Scotty McCreery is a heartfelt celebration of small-town life, wrapped in a warm country melody that lingers long after the first listen. From the very first guitar strum, this track pulls you in with a laid-back charm and easy rhythm that perfectly matches its message: some things might not dazzle you right away, but give them time—and they’ll become a part of you.

The song is a tribute to the kind of places and people that don’t always make a big first impression. McCreery paints a vivid picture of dusty roads, familiar faces, Friday night football games, and corner diners where everyone knows your name. It’s not flashy, and it’s not meant to be. But as the chorus insists, “it’ll grow on ya”—and before you know it, that quiet comfort becomes something you can’t imagine living without.

What makes this song so special is how effortlessly Scotty delivers it. His deep, steady voice brings an authenticity that’s hard to fake. You can tell he’s lived the lyrics. There’s a sense of nostalgia in every line, but also pride—pride in the simple, steady rhythms of rural life. For listeners who grew up in small towns, this song feels like home. And for those who didn’t, it offers a gentle invitation to slow down and appreciate life’s quieter moments.

Musically, the track stays true to McCreery’s signature style: a blend of classic country with a modern polish. The production is clean and warm, giving plenty of room for the lyrics to breathe. The chorus is catchy in the most subtle way, echoing the theme that love for something—be it a place, a person, or a way of life—doesn’t always strike like lightning. Sometimes, it builds slowly. But when it does, it sticks.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering his music, “It’ll Grow On Ya” is a song worth giving time to. As the title promises, it’ll find its way into your heart—quietly, but surely.

Lyrics

Better stay up on that interstate
Keep that pedal down
Don’t pay no mind to that exit sign
That leads to this nothing town
This ain’t the place to stop
If you’re just passing through
There ain’t that much to see
And there ain’t that much to do

But it’ll grow on ya
Like a two-lane tractor backing up traffic
Rollin’ slow on ya
Like kudzu vine, this simple life gets ahold on ya
Before you know you’re trading blacktop for gravel roads
Won’t be long before them red dirt roots will show on ya
Yeah it’ll grow on ya

Gas ain’t all that cheap, they don’t take credit cards
And they’ll wanna talk forever
If they don’t know who you are
Don’t pull in on a sunday
‘Cause everything here’s closed
It takes some getting used to
Just ask me how i know

But it’ll grow on ya
Like a two-lane tractor backing up traffic
Rollin’ slow on ya
Like kudzu vine, this simple life gets ahold on ya
Before you know you’re trading blacktop for gravel roads
Won’t be long before them red dirt roots will show on ya
Yeah it’ll grow on ya

This ain’t the place to stop if you’re just passing through
‘Cause the longer that you stay the harder leaving is to do

It’ll grow on ya
Yeah it’ll grow on ya
Like kudzu vine, this simple life gets ahold on ya
Before you know you’re trading blacktop for gravel roads
Won’t be long before them red dirt roots will show on ya
It’ll grow on ya
Yeah it’ll grow on ya

Better stay up on that interstate
Don’t pay no mind to that exit sign
‘Cause it’ll grow on ya
