Raised Right

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 2 a.m., mama walking in Tossing keys and tips, counting ones and tens Smell like coffee and cigarettes How could I forget? How'd she say, "Just one hug then it's back to bed" Better not get back up again, yeah [Verse 2] 7 a.m. 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 But 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 [Chorus] We were raised right We wеre hard times in a broke town Wе 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 [Verse 3] Eyes on the ball, butts in the pew Never go to bed without "I love you" Paper thin walls, Mom and Daddy fought It was always, "Why you're spending more than we got?" But no one looked at Mama like Daddy did We were latchkey kids, but we were always taken care of 'Cause all they cared was [Chorus] 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 (Oh, oh) [Post-Chorus] (Oh, oh) We were raised right (Oh, oh) [Bridge] Real life gets a little too real sometimes We all burn and just crash sometimes Can't help but look back sometimes To think if they can make it, so can we [Chorus] 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 (Oh, oh) [Post-Chorus] Yeah, we were raised right (Oh, oh) We were raised right (Oh, oh) Yeah, we were raised right (Oh, oh) [Outro] (Oh, oh) (Oh, oh)
