I Wasn’t Raised like That

[Verse 1]
The pressure came on
When I was just a teen
I didn't know then that life could be so mean
Take a sip, take a trip
And you'll feel right
Mama said there would be days like this
Don't give up and don't give in
I know you're gonna win

[Chorus]
I wasn't raised like that
I was taught right from wrong
I wasn't raised like that
I won't be your puppet on your string
I wasn't raised like that

[Verse 2]
People today without any right
They will shoot you down
Like a thief in the night
Join the gang you'll have fame
Living the fast lane
But they won't tell you about going insane
Don't give up and don't give in
I know you're gonna win

[Chorus]
I wasn't raised like that
I was taught right from wrong
I wasn't raised like that
I won't be your puppet on your string
I wasn't raised like that

[Bridge]
Mama and Daddy showed us well
To our neighbor as we love ourselves
I thank God for Sunday school
The world is in need of the Golden Rule

[Chorus]
I wasn't raised like that
I was taught right from wrong
I wasn't raised like that
I won't be your puppet on your string
I wasn't raised like that
