[Verse 1]

Snapbacks and Levi jeans

PBR and burnt CDs

Running for the grass on the hot concrete

We're still working on our summer feet

Cheap gas and Reddy Ice

Trunk music and headlight fights

Dodging the smoke from a riverbank fire

A pretty girl and a pickup line like

"Hey what's your name, you know smoke follows beauty, baby"


[Chorus]

We stayed up all night long, made our drinks too strong

Feeling ten feet tall

Ropes swinging into the water in the middle of the night

Like oh-oh-oh oh oh

Breaking our boots in, stompin' on the ground we grew up on

Yeah, we were raised on it (Raised on it)

Worked hard and played on it

We had it made on it

We were born and raised on it


[Verse 2]

Car wash at the custom tent

Sticky quarters and pine tree scent

The only sign that we ever got stuck

Is the muddy chain in the back of the truck

5-1's with a 20 on top

Three guard at the barber shop

Duckin' from your ex at the four-way stop

Turn the music down when you're passing the cops


[Chorus]

We stayed up all night long, made our drinks too strong

Feeling ten feet tall

Ropes swinging into the water in the middle of the night

Like oh-oh-oh oh oh

Breaking our boots in, stompin' on the ground we grew up on

Yeah, we were raised on it (Raised on it)

Worked hard and played on it

We had it made on it

We were born and raised on it


[Bridge]

Mama's prayers and Daddy's speech

Front porch philosophies

A little too young and dumb to see

Just what it all meant to me


[Chorus]

We stayed up all night long, made our drinks too strong

Feeling ten feet tall

Ropes swinging into the water in the middle of the night

Like oh-oh-oh oh oh

Breaking our boots in, stompin' on the ground we grew up on

Yeah, we were raised on it (Raised on it)

Worked hard and played on it

We had it made on it

We were born and raised on it


[Outro]

Mm, yeah

When that sun starts sinking

When they turn those open signs around

We thought we ran this town

Running around just

Breaking hearts and curfew

Out in the yard with no shoes

Staying cool in a Nylon pool

Foul ball headed for the parking lot

And those Saturday mornings we sleep late

ATVs and fire breaks

Worn out jeans, Black Eyed Peas, backroads and blue skies

I was born and raised on it

Might have misbehaved on it

Worked hard and played on it

We had it made
