The Way I Was Raised Lyrics by Bonfires and Backroads

Generations

2017

[Verse 1]
Lookin back I was 5 years old, me and dad Ridin round in that old, truck, heading on down to the lake, goin to fish, stopped to pick up some bait, looked at me and said son, the best things in life ya gotta earn, grandpa taught me that one, and he told me to past it on cause
[Chorus]
The way i was raised
Made me the man i am today
It was, all the advice
And all the people in my life
And all the bad times and
"It'll be ok"'s
And they always told me
To teach my kids the same
Things i learned through all my days
And to raise them
The Way I Was Raised
[Verse 2]
Years past now I'm 17, just hoping it was all a bad dream, got the call while I was at work, still remember how much it hurt, grandpa he taught bout life, taught me to love God, he taught me how to fight, those are things I'll always live by, stick to it till I get it right, cause the way I was raised
[Chorus]
The way i was raised
Made me the man i am today
It was, all the advice
And all the people in my life
And all the bad times and
"It'll be ok"'s
And they always told me
To teach my kids the same
Things i learned through all my days
And to raise them
The Way I Was Raised
[Verse 3]
23 gotta son of my own, I'm tryin so hard to show em, the way a man should be, I sure hope I can be, a role model he can look up, a best friend that he can talk to, some one that can give him advice, and I'll tell him how I made it through life
[Chorus]
The way i was raised
Made me the man i am today
It was, all the advice
And all the people in my life
And all the bad times and
"It'll be ok"'s
And they always told me
To teach my kids the same
Things i learned through all my days
And to raise them
The Way I Was Raised
