Born & Raised

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
