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