Shellin’ [D]purple hull peas on the front porch Sprayin’ [Bm]WD-40 on the screen door
[D7]Smell of white rain on a summer breeze Wooden [G]spoon stirrin’ sugar in the sun tea
[D]Brimstone bibles on night stands For [Bm]better or for worse on some gold bands
A [D7]long line of crazy-biscuits and gravy [G]that’s what made me
I was raised by [D]those kind of women Rocked to sleep on [Em]Dolly and Dylan
Set ya straight with a [G]fly swatter whippin’ You can always [D]smell love cookin’ in the [A]kitchen
Knew how to [Bm]make a man listen Keep a little rainy [D7]day coffee can cash hidden
And what[Em]ever kinda Hell they were goin’ through Jesus was [G]right there with ‘em
I was raised by [D]those kind of women
If it was [D]on their mind it was out their mouth When [Bm]life was a ditch they’d pull ya out
They show [D7]up in everything I do or say And I [G]thank God everyday
I was raised by [D]those kind of women Rocked to sleep on [Em]Dolly and Dylan
Set ya straight with a [G]fly swatter whippin’ You can always [D]smell love cookin’ in the [A]kitchen
Knew how to [Bm]make a man listen Keep a little rainy [D7]day coffee can cash hidden
And what[Em]ever kinda Hell they were goin’ through Jesus was [G]right there with ‘em
I was raised by [D]those kind of women
The kind that’s [D]done a lotta livin’
The [G]day you move away or when you lay ‘em in the grave
[A]Damn right you’re gonna miss ‘em
I was raised by [D]those kind of women Rocked to sleep on [Em]Dolly and Dylan
Set ya straight with a [G]fly swatter whippin’ You can always [D]smell love cookin’ in the [A]kitchen
Knew how to [Bm]make a man listen Keep a little rainy [D7]day coffee can cash hidden
And what[Em]ever kinda Hell they were goin’ through Jesus was [G]right there with ‘em
I was raised by [D]those kind of women
I was raised by [D]those kind of women
