Shane Smith & The Saints Born & Raised
Boy: There's an alligator in that tank where my papa fished nearly every day,
he said it got his dog back in 82 I never saw the gator but I guess it's true.
Girl: And maybe that's 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: Your like me Texas queen, I knew it from the start,
cause you drink 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: I reminded you of where you was born and raised
Girl: There's a live oak at our farm, lost a 100 year battle to a lightning storm,
that's the only time I've ever seen my grandpa cry he never shed a tear when his brother died.
Boy: I swear It's like a kin to you, every story you tell me sounds like my youth,
I bet you got an uncle that always sings I bet you got a kiss that tastes just like sweet tea,
Texas queen I loved you from the start, cause you drink whiskey like the 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: I reminded you of where you was born and raised
Boy: 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: there's no rhyme or reason why we choose to live this way,
Boy: when your rambling boots have seen their final days.
Boy: 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.
