Verse 1
When you raised up round here
Sometimes you wonder if there’s greener grass out there
So you go looking for something better somewhere
You hit the road and go
You kiss her goodbye
Tell her it will be okay
Tears in her eyes, falling as the taillights fade
Pedal down, out of breath
So alive, scared to death
Everything you want in the backseat
Chorus
I ran down the road
Just as far as I can
Yeah, every dust to town
Every mile I’ve seen
Might as well be in it without her in it
The California coast to come up money
And people up coast talk that I’m funny
Ain’t enough stars in that heat Texas sky
To get her off my mind
Guess I ran around the world
Looking for a girl
That was raised up round here
Verse 2
Knows every county road
Winding through nowhere
Church every Sunday
She’s a little bit bible, little bit wild
But she gets to all my prayer
Chorus
I ran down the road
Just as far as I can
Yeah, every dust to town
Every mile I’ve seen
Might as well be in it without her in it
The California coast to come up money
And people up coast talk that I’m funny
Ain’t enough stars in that heat Texas sky
To get her off my mind
Guess I ran around the world
Looking for a girl
That was raised up round here
Outro
I ran down the road
Just as far as I can
Yeah, every dust to town
Every mile I’ve seen
Might as well be in it without her in it
The California coast to come up money
And people up coast talk that I’m funny
Ain’t enough stars in that heat Texas sky
To get her off my mind
Guess I ran around the world
Looking for a girl
That was raised up round here
Yeah, raised up round here
” Raised up Round Here ” Song Meaning
Verse 1
When you raised up round here
Sometimes you wonder if there’s greener grass out there
So you go looking for something better somewhere
You hit the road and go
You kiss her goodbye
Tell her it will be okay
Tears in her eyes, falling as the taillights fade
Pedal down, out of breath
So alive, scared to death
Everything you want in the backseat
Chorus
I ran down the road
Just as far as I can
Yeah, every dust to town
Every mile I’ve seen
Might as well be in it without her in it
The Cal
