Got a little southern drawl in my talk A little pickup truck on my highway Got a little boot stomp in my walk A little neon light in my Friday Got some Tennessee in my whiskey Raise a cup of baby with me I was raised on Merle, raised on Willie Got my home guitar got a tune from Joe Diffie Daddy did too, it's family tradition But someone cracks it up, you can't help but listen My upbringing sounds like George Strait singing And I gotta give props to the radio Just if you know me, I was raised on country It's the only reason that I survived Every breakup and every party It's the soundtrack to my life It runs deep in my D&D I was raised on Merle, raised on Willie Got my home guitar got a tune from Joe Diffie Daddy did too, it's family tradition But someone cracks it up, you can't help but listen My upbringing sounds like George Strait singing And I gotta give props to the radio Just if you know me, I was raised on country I was raised on country Raised on country Learned a lot about living and a little about love Raised on country And you know that's something I'm so proud of I was raised on Merle, raised on Willie Got my home guitar got a tune from Joe Diffie Daddy did too, it's family tradition But someone cracks it up, you can't help but listen My upbringing sounds like George Strait singing And I gotta give props to the radio Just if you know me, I was raised on country I was raised on country I was raised on country Raised on country music
