The Way He Was Raised

[Verse 1]
He always wore those worn out flip-flops
Spent hours in his Daddy's workshop
He loved being on the water
Fishing with His friends
He always listened to the old folks
When they'd tell stories and crack jokes
Didn't talk back to his Mama
When she got onto Him

[Chorus]
Oh, that's just the way He was raised
Had to finish all His chores fore
He could go outside and play
They always went to church that's were he learned how to pray
And that's just the way He was raised

[Verse 2]
He grew His hair out when He got older
Grew it clear down to His shoulders
Started hanging with the outcasts
When He went off to town
Some called Him a troublemaker
Even some said a lawbreaker
No matter how they talked about Him
He never put nobody down

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
On a cross, on a hill
That longhaired boy was killed
All our sins washed away
When He walked out of that grave

[Chorus]

[Outro]
It took the hand of God to roll the stone away
And that's just the way He was raised
Yeah, that's just the way He was raised
