Raised Right

2AM, mama walkin' in

Tossin' keys and tips, countin' ones and tens

Smell like coffee and cigarettes

How could I forget?

As she'd sing "Just one hug then it's back to bed"

Better not get back up again

Yeah

7AM was a diesel truck

Didn't always run, but daddy fired it up

That rattle backing out of a gravel drive

Was watching him leave most all my life

Didn't know we were living check to check

Same way they been living since the day they met

Wasn't easy, but I know

We were raised right

We were hard times

In a broke town

We were heads high

We were wild souls

We were lost prayers

We were don't know how

But we'll get there

Took some wrong turns but we all turned out okay

We were raised right

Eyes on the ball, butts in the pew

Never go to bed without "I love you"

Paper thin walls mom and daddy fought

Was always "Why you spending more than we got?"

But no one looked to mama like daddy did

We were latchkey kids

But we were always taken care of

'Cause all they cared was

We were raised right

We were hard times

In a broke town

We were heads high

We were wild souls

We were lost prayers

We were don't know how

But we'll get there

Took some wrong turns but we all turned out okay

We were raised right

We were raised right

Real life gets a little too real sometimes

We all run and just crash sometimes

Can't help but look back sometimes

Just think if they can make it, so can we

We were raised right

We were hard times

In a broke town

We were heads high

We were wild souls

We were lost prayers

We were don't know how

But we'll get there

Took some wrong turns but we all turned out okay

We were raised right (We were raised right)

We were hard times (We were hard times)

We were wild souls

We were lost prayers

We were don't know how

But we'll get there

Took some wrong turns but we all turned out okay

We were raised right

Yeah, we were raised right

We were raised right

Yeah, we were raised right
