Verse
When momma used my full name
I knew she meant business
I learned to say, “yes sir”
From the the first time that I didn’t
I’ I’ve felt that bible belt
And I know what soap tastes like
I’ve done my share of wrong
But I was raised up
Verse
And I figured out that midnight
Ain’t the 12:03
can’t go date
When daddy’s got
sock
Will keep home
I’ve the hard way
Cause I was raised up
Chorus
up like my Momma’s hands
In mornin’ church
up like my Daddy’s of beer
the the
mornin’
I was raised up right
Verse
Zebco
Castin’ the bank
And I learned what country was
When Grandpa Hank
handshake don’t nothin’
If don’t ’em the eye
Hard will make boy man
I was raised up
Chorus
up like my Momma’s hands
In mornin’ church
up like my Daddy’s of beer
the the
mornin’
I was raised up right
Bridge
When they that water
the dat I got baptized
I was raised up, I was
Post-Chorus
up like my Momma’s hands
In mornin’ church
up like my Daddy’s of beer
the the
mornin’
I was raised up right
I was raised up right
I was raised up right
up right
