Raised Right

(альбом: Family First - 2022)

See I was raised right here
Smoke rolling off of these stills
Hay growing all in his fields
Yeah I was raised right here
Yeah them fires burning all night
Party in that moonlight yeah I was raised right

Back when I was young you never missed a game
At bat you'd clap and I hear my name
I'd make a play mama looked so proud
You know they caught hell trying to get me out
Daddy would come too whenever work allowed but
I never knew I was looking 'round now
That I'm grown I figured out how many bricks it takes to feed six
I'm so blessed to be raised by the best
With and without no rest doing
Whatever it takes to raise your kids making sure
We never had less if life is a test
I'd say you passed everything that I need to be
The same kind of blessing for both of my baby girls in this crazy world

See I was raised right here
Smoke rolling off of these stills
Hay growing all in his fields
Yeah I was raised right here
Yeah them fires burning all night
Party in that moonlight yeah I was raised right (you damn right)
Raised right (you damn right)
Raised right (you damn right)
Yeah I was raised right (you damn right)
Raised right (you damn right)
Raised right (you damn right)

I was raised up in that black dirt
Didn't know what it really meant at first
Five days every week they can't chill cause they at work
Give the shirt off of their back sir and yeah they break their back work
And everything ever learned in the life was right back here on that dirt
Definition of a blue-collar working on for a few dollars
If you need us for anything all you ever gotta do is holler
Working hard for new tomorrow but I think we got the best behind us
Stay straight faced put up blinders and yeah you know where to find us

Every Georgia boy knows there's a level of respect
Buddy this is my home and I'm a rep it to the death
And if I ever do pass y'all just throw me in the dirt
Next to granny and the family at the old Baptist Church
If this ain't the best place in the world
Better get a case and a pack of Marlboro's
Gotta hop in the F-150 mile ride
Where the bumps in the road make the ass end slide
Learn what I could from the creeks and the pines
Work like you should get a piece of that pie
Kind of life where your kids get cornbread fed wear that black-n-red

See I was raised right here
Smoke rolling off of these stills
Hay growing all in his fields
Yeah I was raised right here
Yeah them fires burning all night
Party in that moonlight yeah I was raised right (you damn right)
Raised right (you damn right)
Raised right (you damn right)
Yeah I was raised right (you damn right)
Raised right (you damn right)
Raised right (you damn right)
