Letra de 'Born & Raised' de Shane Smith & the Saints

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

Well 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

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

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
Yeah, I reminded you of where you was born and raised

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

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

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
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
There's no rhyme or reason why we choose to live this way

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 till we feel alright

Well I may call your way, I loved you all the same
'Cause you reminded me of where I was born and raised

Yeah, I reminded you of where you was born and raised
Yeah, you reminded me of where I was born and raised
