The Men That Made Me
Dan Allen | Jake Arthur

VERSE 1
Dad taught me to bait a hook
To know an honest man with just one look
And how drive in the high school parking lot
On Sunday preacher would read the bible
Learned about Jesus and his twelve disciples
And not to covet what my neighbors got

PRE
And I got some extra education
Straight from the radio station

CHORUS
One raised me up, one taught me to believe
Three chords and the truth set my wild heart free
It takes a village, at least it did for me
I thank God for country and family
And the men that made me

VERSE 2
Thanks to Willie, Cash, and Hank
I learned to get over my first heartbreak
And Brad taught me a whiskey lullaby
Yeah, if hadn’t been for that FM dial
And sitting with dad in the church pew aisle
I wouldn’t know how to walk the line

CHORUS
One raised me up, one taught me to believe
Three chords and the truth set my wild heart free
It takes a village, at least it did for me
I thank God for country and family
And the men that made me

BRIDGE
I’ve still got more to learn,
But I know that I can turn

CHORUS
To the one who raised me up, the one that taught me to believe,
Three chords and the truth will always set my heart free
It takes a village, at least it did for me
I thank God for country and family
And the men that made me
