shane smith & the saints - born & raised lyrics
boy:
there’s an alligator in that tank
where my papa fished nearly everyday
he said it got his dog back in ’82
i never saw the gator but i guess its true
girl:
well maybe thats a small town thing
my daddy had a story sounded just the same
we’d buy minnows nearly every week with cane poles in his jeep
boy:
you’re like me, texas queen, i knew it from the start
’cause you drank whiskey like a fountain of youth
had a tap straight to that bar
girl:
well you don’t say, what’s your name?
i loved you all the same
’cause you reminded me of where i was born and raised
boy:
yeah, i reminded you of where you was born and raised
girl:
there’s a live oak at our farm
lost a hundred year battle to a lightning storm
that’s the only time i’ve ever see my grandpa cry
he never shed a tear when his brother died
boy:
i swear it’s like i’m kin to you
every story you tell me sounds like my youth
i bet you got an uncle who always sings
i bet you got a kiss that tastes just like sweet tea
texas queen, i loved you from the start
’cause you drank whiskey like a fountain of youth
had a tap straight to that bar
girl:
well you don’t say, what’s your name?
i loved you all the same
’cause you reminded me of where i was born and raised
boy:
yeah, i reminded you of where you was born and raised
i know you’ve had others, try to put a ring on you
’cause you’re still wild, tough as tobacco that the devil himself won’t chew
both:
theres no rhyme or reason why we choose to live this way
boy:
when you’re rambling boots have seen their final day
remember me, texas queen
picture us together on a front porch swing
we could play cards every friday night
smoke a little smoke ’til we feel alright
girl:
well i may call your way, i loved you all the same
’cause you reminded me of where i was born and raised
boy:
yeah, i reminded you of where you was born and raised
girl:
yeah, you reminded me of where i was born and raised
