James Johnston - RAISED LIKE THAT (Official Lyric Video)

RAISED LIKE THAT (LYRICS)

Verse 1:
I was raised on a Main Street
Where everyone knows your name
Clear skies and late nights
Hanging out at football games

Yeah, looking back
I was born and I was raised like that

Verse 2:
I was raised where a mans words
As firm as his hand shake
Where everybody cussed the flood
But always prayed for rain

Yeah, looking back
I was born and I was raised like that

Chorus:
I was
Raised up on Friday nights, sneaking into small town bars
Raised up on country songs singing out bout broken hearts
Raise up on 40 acres at the end of an old dirt track
And I
wouldn’t be who I am right now if
I wasn’t raised like that

I was raised like
I was raised like
I was raised like that

I was raised like
I was raised like
I was raised like that

Verse 3:
I was raised by a good man
Who showed me wrong from right
How to work hard, change a flat
And be thankful for this life

And always give back
Yeah I was born and I was raised like that

Chorus:
I was
Raised up on Friday nights, sneaking into small town bars
Raised up on country songs singing out bout broken hearts
Raise up on 40 acres at the end of an old dirt track
And I
wouldn’t be who I am right now if
I wasn’t raised like that

I was raised like
I was raised like
I was raised like that

I was raised like
I was raised like
I was raised like that

Bridge;
I was taught life ain’t simple
But you ain’t alone
I was shown what is love
In this place I call home
So for all of these lessons
I count my blessings I was

Chorus
Raised up on Friday nights, sneaking in to small town bars
Raised up on country song singing out bout broken hearts
Raise up on 40 acres at the end of an old dirt track
And I wouldn’t be who I am right now if
I wasn’t raised like that

Chorus
Raised up on Friday nights, sneaking into small town bars
Raised up on country songs singing out bout broken hearts
Raise up on 40 acres at the end of an old dirt track
And I
wouldn’t be who I am right now if
I wasn’t raised like that

Chorus
I was raised like
I was raised like
I was raised like that

I was raised like
I was raised like
I was raised like that
