Raised Up Right

Everybody don't grow up at the end of a red dirt road

Where Daddy's got an '85 Ford on blocks

And Mama's in the backyard hangin' up clothes

Everybody wasn't brought up in a little white clapboard church

Sunday mornin' was a clip-on tie, Wednesday night was blue jeans and a camouflage shirt

Ooh, no, it ain't the only way

Ooh, wouldn't change the way I was raised

I was raised on John Deere Green, 3:16

Cut a little grass for some gasoline

Wettin' a line off a two-lane bridge

Hold the light while your daddy turns a wrench

Keep your word and love your girl

Talk to God all the time

Keep a little sweet tea in your cup

There's raised up and there's raised up right

Summer days gettin' sunburnt

On that muddy ol' riverbank sand

Summer nights hangin' out in a hayfield wipin' dust off a cold beer can

Ooh, yeah, it sure goes fast

Ooh, I'm so thankful that

I was raised on John Deere Green, 3:16

Cut a little grass for some gasoline

Wettin' a line off a two-lane bridge

Hold the light while your daddy turns a wrench

Keep your word and love your girl

Talk to God all the time

Keep a little sweet tea in your cup

There's raised up and there's raised up right

Ooh, yeah, it sure goes fast

Ooh, I'm so thankful that

Keep a little sweet tea in your cup

There's raised up and there's raised up right

Oh yeah, raised up right
