About This Song


Basically this song is about if you didn't grow up country, driving a three on the tree, shooting a double barrel shotgun, throwing an empty beer can out the window, then you wasn't raised right.

Wasn’t Raised Right

Written by Roger Fournier

(Wasn’t Raised Right)
Verse I
If you never threw a hay bale up in a barn, if you never drove a tractor on a dirt road farm
If you never pulled the trigger on a double barrel 12, then what to Hell
If you never put a dip in between your jaws, if you never took a sip of your grandpas
If you never drove a truck with a three on the tree, then you ain’t country
Chorus
If you never drove down a back road, sipping Wild Irish Rose or threw an empty beer can out a truck window
Then you wasn’t raised like us
If you never heard country music on an 8 track stereo, Conway, Waylon, Haggard or George Jones, then you missed out on the good stuff
And if you never got caught sneaking your girl out in the middle of the night, then you wasn’t raised right
Verse II
If you never pulled off a dirt road, hit a little corn field, if you never made love cussing out a steering wheel, if you never fogged up a truck and wrote I love you, I’m telling you
Chorus
If you never drove down a back road, sipping Wild Irish Rose or threw an empty beer can out a truck window
Then you wasn’t raised like us
If you never heard country music on an 8 track stereo, Conway, Waylon, Haggard or George Jones, then you missed out on the good stuff
And if you never got caught sneaking your girl out in the middle of the night, then you wasn’t raised right
Then you wasn’t raised right
Break G, Gb, Em, C
Bridge Em, D, C
So I guess you’re not from a little town like this one
So I guess you can’t understand where to Hell I came from
Chorus
If you never drove down a back road, sipping Wild Irish Rose or threw an empty beer can out a truck window
Then you wasn’t raised like us
If you never heard country music on an 8 track stereo, Conway, Waylon, Haggard or George Jones, then you missed out on the good stuff
And if you never got caught sneaking your girl out in the middle of the night
And if you never got caught stealing your Daddy’s cold budlights, then you wasn’t raised right, then you wasn’t raised right.
