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
