I was raised on them backroads Frog gigging with cane poles Barefoot everywhere we go Mama made them biscuits gravy Girl next door she drove me crazy (Yeah she did, I still love her though)
Bottles till the sun comes up Drop the tailgate on the truck It’s Friday night lets turn it up Caught up in the summer love Can’t leave my heart is stuck Like a my blueprints left in the mud
Southern living’ everywhere I go is running through my blood
Raised on it Praised on that good book so we could cuss on Mondays Sinnin’ but we’ll see those white lights some day Starts all over again on next Sunday Raised on it Sang down that dirt road Tom Petty track Free Fallin Tailgate, bonfire parties calling Raise your hands up if you’re raised on it Oooooo raised on it Oooooo raised on it Oooooo raised on it
Sneak out undercover of a full moonlight Lights off, waitin in a four wheel drive Red cups, sippin on cheap red wine In the summertime Sounds of the crickets and the frogs just right Taillights paint the town red at night Our names carved on a tree side Staying up till sunrise
Raised on it Praised on that good book so we could cuss on Mondays Sinnin’ but we’ll see those white lights some day Starts all over again on next Sunday Raised on it Sang down that dirt road Tom Petty track Free Fallin Tailgate, bonfire parties calling Raise your hands up if you’re raised on it Oooooo raised on it Oooooo raised on it Oooooo raised on it
Where I’m from it’s yes sir no ma’am We open doors and we shake ya hands Don’t cross that line boy take a stand It’s a one lane road down to country land The party starts where the pavement ends Ain’t nuthin to do girl call your friends Shotgun beers yeah it’s time to sin And next weekend we gonna do it again
Raised on it Praised on that good book so we could cuss on Mondays Sinnin’ but we’ll see those white lights some day Starts all over again on next Sunday Raised on it Sang down that dirt road Tom Petty track Free Fallin Tailgate, bonfire parties calling Raise your hands up if you’re raised on it Oooooo raised on it Oooooo raised on it Oooooo raised on it
