Jesus and Dirt Roads (feat. Adam Thompson Music)

Chorus

Raised on Jesus and them Dirt Roads

Where mama and grandma said

They taught me everything that I know

Their voices ringing in my head

Boy you’ve been running with the Devil far too long, you better wake up and turn around

Raised on Jesus and them Dirt Roads

It’s where my faith was found

Verse 1

Another morning with the light coming through the blinds I can smell the biscuits in the oven

Daddy working just to pay the bills Mama making make sure there’s no empty stomachs

Praying daily as we headed out, going off to school with our lunch in hand, didn’t have to worry about a politician, too young to think about an Uncle Sam, in God we trust is still the motto, still pledge allegiance to the flag, prayer time in every classroom turn the tables let’s bring it back, that value system we grew up with

Back then that’s all we had, look em in the eye with a handshake and a man’s word that was iron clad, in the middle of it all that’s faith and family, they’ve been there without a doubt, no matter what the circumstance I knew we’d always make it out, in the middle of it all that’s faith and family, they’ve been there without a doubt, no matter what the circumstance I knew we’d always make it out

Chorus

Raised on Jesus and them Dirt Roads

Where mama and grandma said

They taught me everything that I know

Their voices ringing in my head

Boy you’ve been running with the Devil far too long, you better wake up and turn around

Raised on Jesus and them Dirt Roads

It’s where my faith was found

Verse 2

We relied on love, we relied on God, never had a lot of money in the bank, but you would never know it cause what really mattered, well is what we had and that’s everything, looking back on the situations that we were facing it really shaped us, gave me something I carry now and it helped me overcome the tribulations, now I know when I walk in faith though it’s never easy He never left, look at the cross when he took the cost, He thought of me when he paid the debt, my mama prayed, my daddy worked, my brothers fought, and my sisters sang, my pastor spoke, my uncle’s joked, and that’s just how we just did the thang, there’s a whole lot of things we do round here you don’t see everywhere you go, we had everything we needed never knew that we were poor, we learned every single lesson to succeed and make us grow, we were holding on to Jesus walking down these country roads
