Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Raise 'em up
I'm talkin' 'bout a lighter on a Saturday night
The band plays a song you like and you sing along
Raise 'em up
I'm talkin' 'bout Daddy's old pickup truck
Shotgun seat, there's the one you love
And you're kissin' on
[Chorus]
Get those white sails sailin' down in Mexico
It's just a whiskey glass if you ain't makin' a toast
Lift your tear-filled eyes up to the sky
Oh come on home, you've been gone too long
Tonight we're gonna raise 'em up, mmm
[Verse 2]
Raise 'em up
You got a voice, you got a choice, go make some noise
Don't ever let 'em tell you who you are
Raise 'em up
Fists black and blue, fight for the truth, it's what you do
Hand on your heart for the stripes and stars
[Chorus]
Black umbrellas in the pourin' rain
"Sunday Morning Coming Down," "Amazing Grace"
Lift those tear-filled eyes up to the sky
As the flag flies, say goodbye
Tonight we're gonna raise 'em up
[Bridge]
So, you meet someone, the only one
You take her by the hand
Make a stand, buy some land
Make some love and them babies come
[Bridge]
Raise 'em up, raise 'em up
Raise 'em up trophy-high
Raise 'em up to the sky
Raise 'em up, show everybody that newborn smile
Raise 'em up tall and strong
Raise 'em up right from wrong
Raise 'em up so damn high
They can hear God singin' along
[Outro]
Whoa
Whoa
[Outro]
Whoa
Whoa
[Outro]
Whoa
Whoa
