That's How I Was Raised - Live

This is a new one from a new CD

You give more than you take

You mend more than you break

That's how I was raised

You look 'em in the eye

And shake their hands tight

And Jesus saves

Well, I walked the line a time or two

Run through fire and made it through

Sometimes that's just what it takes

Well, I've read the Bible, I've cursed the land

Done the worst and the best I can

But I get up when I fall from grace, yeah

'Cause that's how I was raised

The old ragged cross and college football

That's how I was raised

We out there working in the fields

We'd have a prayer before the meals

For heaven's sakes

Oh, I walked the line a time or two

Ran through fire and made it through

Sometimes that's just what it takes

Well, I've read the Bible, I've cursed the land

Done the worst and the best I can

But I get up when I fall from grace, yes I do

'Cause that's how I was raised

Oh, we are only humans

But it comes right down to who we are

Yeah, it's a constant battle

But all that really matters is what's deep down in your heart

Well, I walked the line a time or two

Ran through fire and made it through

Sometimes that's just what it takes

Well, I've read the Bible, I've cursed the land

Done the worst and the best I can

But I get up when I fall from grace

'Cause that's how I was raised

Yeah, that's how I was raised

You give more than you take

You mend more than you break

That's how I was raised
