[Verse 1]
If you break your back just a-workin' that overtime
To cruise around town in a run-down truck
If you fake till you make it on the uphill climb
Scratchin’ that ticket and prayin' for luck
If you hide a little red down underneath
Then I know damn well that you're just like me
[Chorus]
So raise ’em up if you started at the bottom
Come on y'all, now holler and a swallow
Drink 'em down then get you another
Raise 'em up if you started at the bottom
[Verse 2]
If your uncle sold moonshine to buy him a double wide
Your daddy built a still so y'all could get one too
If your preacher missed Sunday from a miller lite backslide
Ended up in jail all black and blue
If you hide a little podunk underneath
Then I know damn well that you're just like me
[Chorus]
So raise 'em up if you started at the bottom
Come on y'all, now holler and a swallow
Drink ’em down then get you another
Raise ’em up if you started at the bottom
[Bridge]
If you hide a little red down underneath
Then I know damn well that you're just like me
[Chorus]
So raise ’em up if you started at the bottom
Come on y'all, now holler and a swallow
Drink 'em down then get you another
Raise 'em up if you started at the bottom
[Outro]
Raise ’em up
Raise 'em up
Raise 'em up
Raise 'em up
This song was written for everyone who started at “the bottom” and worked hard to achieve something more. I felt an anthem was the best way to celebrate those who put in the effort to raise themselves up.
