The Way We Were Raised

Georgia red clay And the smell of pine We were raised in the land of god Fishin' at the lake Or in the woods at night Just a quiet kind of life We were taught how to pray We were taught to behave And never tell a lie Never had it all But we had enough And we turned out just fine And I'm not the type to hunt Or play in the mud But I'm as country as they come I was born and raised Not to eat till I pray And cherish a mothers love When I was young My momma always Bragged about her sons We were born down south And we were raised down south By the grace of god above I was always angry Little Drew was crazy And Jon was always drunk But we had it made The way we were raised Yeah we'll always be good I remember 16 When we moved streets And I met my first love She was a firecracker Lover, now a mother But she was never the one Been a few years now And she's moved along But I hope she's alright Lord we never had it all But I think it's enough To say we're just fine And I'm not the type to hunt Or play in the mud But I'm as country as they come I was born and raised Not to eat till I pray And cherish a mothers love When I was young My momma always Bragged about her sons We were born down south And we were raised down south By the grace of god above I was always angry Little Drew was crazy And Jon was always drunk But we had it made The way we were raised Yeah we'll always be good
