"Raised Up Wrong" lyrics

"Raised Up Wrong"

We were Bible Belt bible every Sunday
Dirty Carhartt wearing, working hard for your money
Little redneck sweatin' kept the lights turned on
Some folks say we were raised up wrong

Homegrown growin' in a field
Ate what we killed or we caught with a reel
We were coffee can cash, corn fed strong
Some folks say we were raised up wrong

I'd say, there ain't a damn thing that I'd change
To me it was growing up the right way
No it ain't just a country cliche how we came up
If you think it's out of style, kind of old school
Walk a country mile in these old boots
You'll find out that you've got how we were raised up wrong

Drank summer water straight from the spigot
If it ain't broke, don't, if it is, we can fix it
The best song's sung by the frogs and the crickets
If you ain't lived it, you might not get it

I'd say, there ain't a damn thing that I'd change
To me it was growing up the right way
No it ain't just a country cliche how we came up
If you think it's out of style, kind of old school
Walk a country mile in these old boots
You'll find out that you've got how we were raised up wrong

Don't give a damn like an old Hank song
Hangin' round like a buck on a wall
Or you can say what you'd like
But if that's raised up wrong I don't wanna be right

I'd say, there ain't a damn thing that I'd change
To me it was growing up the right way
No it ain't just a country cliche how we came up
If you think it's out of style, kind of old school
Walk a country mile in these old boots
You'll find out that you've got how we were raised up wrong
Raised up wrong
(Woah)
