raised right - eli young band lyrics

[verse 1]
2 a.m., mama walking in
tossing keys and tips, counting ones and tens
smell like coffee and cigarettes
how could i forget?
how’d she say, “just one hug then it’s back to bed”
better not get back up again, yeah

[verse 2]
7 a.m. was a diesel truck
didn’t always run, but daddy fired it up
that rattle backing out of a gravel drive
was watching him leave most all my life
but didn’t know we were living check*to*check
same way they been living since the day they met
wasn’t easy, but i know

[chorus]
we were raised right
we wеre hard times in a broke town
wе were heads high
we were wild souls, we were lost prayers
we were “don’t know how, but we’ll get there”
took some wrong turns, but we all turned out okay
we were raised right
see eli young band live
get tickets as low as $51
[verse 3]
eyes on the ball, b*tts in the pew
never go to bed without “i love you”
paper thin walls, mom and daddy fought
it was always, “why you’re spending more than we got?”
but no one looked at mama like daddy did
we were latchkey kids, but we were always taken care of
’cause all they cared was

[chorus]
we were raised right
we were hard times in a broke town
we were heads high
we were wild souls, we were lost prayers
we were “don’t know how, but we’ll get there”
took some wrong turns, but we all turned out okay
we were raised right (oh, oh)

[post*chorus]
(oh, oh)
we were raised right
(oh, oh)

[bridge]
real life gets a little too real sometimes
we all burn and just crash sometimes
can’t help but look back sometimes
to think if they can make it, so can we
[chorus]
we were raised right
we were hard times in a broke town
we were heads high
we were wild souls, we were lost prayers
we were “don’t know how, but we’ll get there”
took some wrong turns, but we all turned out okay
we were raised right (we were raised right)
we were hard times (we were hard times)
we were wild souls, we were lost prayers
we were “don’t know how, but we’ll get there”
took some wrong turns, but we all turned out okay
we were raised right (oh, oh)

[post*chorus]
yeah, we were raised right (oh, oh)
we were raised right (oh, oh)
yeah, we were raised right (oh, oh)

[outro]
(oh, oh)
(oh, oh)
