Raisin' babies Raisin' hell High on Jesus Hooked on pills Red dirt poor Redneck rich House on a hill or a trailer hitch Prayin' farmers Strayin' preachers Whiskey bottles 'Neath the bleachers Ain't no secret This here town It ain't much to write home about We got bars We got steeples Keep 'em slammed with damn good people Got your lifers Got your leavers Plenty of stuck here in between'ers Yeah these backwoods might get backwards Our straight and narrow need straightenin' out But I wrote my story in a town That ain't much to write home about Days of glory Fields of gold Bet the farm The farm got sold Same old song Broken needle Hear no, see no, speak no evil We got bars We got steeples Keep 'em slammed with damn good people Got your lifers Got your leavers Plenty of stuck here in between'ers Yeah these backwoods might get backwards Our straight and narrow need straightenin' out But I wrote my story in a town That ain't much to write home about Got our angels Got our demons Keep our roots here Got our reasons We got bars We got steeples Keep 'em slammed with good damn people Got your lifers Got your leavers Your this here's sacred ground believers We got bars We got steeples Keep 'em slammed with damn good people Got your lifers Got your leavers Plenty of stuck here in between'ers Yeah these backwoods might get backwards Our straight and narrow needs some straightenin' out But I wrote my story in a town That ain't much to write home about
