Lyrics That's How I Was Raised - Live - Alabama

This is a new one from a new CD

You give more than you take
You mend more than you break
That's how I was raised

You look 'em in the eye
And shake their hands tight
And Jesus saves

Well, I walked the line a time or two
Run through fire and made it through
Sometimes that's just what it takes
Well, I've read the Bible, I've cursed the land
Done the worst and the best I can
But I get up when I fall from grace, yeah
'Cause that's how I was raised

The old ragged cross and college football
That's how I was raised

We out there working in the fields
We'd have a prayer before the meals
For heaven's sakes

Oh, I walked the line a time or two
Ran through fire and made it through
Sometimes that's just what it takes
Well, I've read the Bible, I've cursed the land
Done the worst and the best I can
But I get up when I fall from grace, yes I do
'Cause that's how I was raised

Oh, we are only humans
But it comes right down to who we are
Yeah, it's a constant battle
But all that really matters is what's deep down in your heart

Well, I walked the line a time or two
Ran through fire and made it through
Sometimes that's just what it takes
Well, I've read the Bible, I've cursed the land
Done the worst and the best I can
But I get up when I fall from grace
'Cause that's how I was raised
Yeah, that's how I was raised

You give more than you take
You mend more than you break
That's how I was raised
