"Born And Raised" lyrics
"Born And Raised"
Now and then I pace my place
I can't retrace how I got here
I cheat the light to check my face
It's slightly harder than last year
And all at once it gets
Hard to take
It gets hard to fake
What I won't be
'Cause one of these days
I'll be born and raised
And it's such a waste
To grow up lonely
I still have dreams
They're not the same
They don't fly as high as they used to
I saw my friend
He's in my head
And he said, "You don't remember me, do you?"
Then all at once it gets
Hard to take
It gets hard to fake
What I won't be
'Cause one of these days
I'll be born and raised
And it's such a waste
To grow up lonely
I still got time, I still got faith
I call on both of my brothers
I got a mom, I got a dad
But they do not have each other
So line on up
And take your place
And show your face
To the morning
'Cause one of these days
You'll be born and raised
And it all comes on without warning
Thanks to Liên for correcting these lyrics.

With this record, John Mayer changes his musical style by adding elements of folk and Americana.
The opening harmonica was played by John Mayer himself.
Since John Mayer's parents divorced in 2009, he addresses that heartbreak in these lyrics with the lines "I got a mom, I got a dad, but they do not have each other."
