That's How I Was Raised

You give more than you take
You mend more than you break
That's how I was raised
You look a man in the eye
And shake their hands tight
And Jesus says

I walk the latter term or two
Run through far 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

The old rugged cross and college football
That's how I was raised
I was working in the fields
And a prayer before the meals
But heaven say

Oh, I walk the latter term or two
Run through far 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

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

Well I walk the latter term or two
Run through far 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
