Raised Up Right

Everybody don't grow up at the end of a red dirt road Where daddy's got an 85 Ford on blocks And mama's in the backyard hangin' up clothes Everybody wasn't brought up in a little white clapboard church Sunday mornin' was a clip-on tie Wednesday night was blue jeans and a camouflage shirt Ooh-ooh, no, it ain't the only way Ooh-ooh, wouldn't changed the way I was raised I was raised on John Deere Green, 3:16 Cut a little grass for some gasoline Wettin' a line off a two-lane bridge Hold the light while your daddy turns a wrench Keep your word and love your girl Talk to God all the time Keep a little sweet tea in your cup There's raised up and there's raised up right Summer days gettin' sunburnt On that muddy ol' riverbank sand Summer nights hangin' out in a hayfield Wipin' dust off a cold beer can Ooh-ooh yeah, it sure goes fast Ooh-ooh, I'm so thankful that I was raised on John Deere Green, 3:16 Cut a little grass for some gasoline Wettin' a line off a two-lane bridge Hold the light while your daddy turns a wrench Keep your word and love your girl Talk to God all the time Keep a little sweet tea in your cup There's raised up and there's raised up right Ooh-ooh yeah, it sure goes fast Ooh-ooh I'm so thankful that I was raised on John Deere Green, 3:16 Cut a little grass for some gasoline Wettin' a line off a two-lane bridge Hold the light while your daddy turns a wrench Keep your word and love your girl Talk to God all the time Keep a little sweet tea in your cup There's raised up and there's raised up right Oh yeah, raised up right
