[Verse 1] Granddad kept a flask In the Bible by his bed Said "Boy The Lord forgives But the law wants me dead" Mama smoked out on the porch In her faded wedding dress Told me "Pick your kind of trouble And wear it on your chest" [Chorus] I was raised on sinners That’s the blood in me Black sheep backbone Wild and free If there’s a line to cross That’s where I’ll be Yeah I ain’t no saint I’m just sinners like me (yeah, sinners like me) [Verse 2] Got a tattoo in the kitchen Buddy used a safety pin Spelled my name a little crooked Like the way I live in this skin Preacher sees me at the bar Says "Son You’re killing time" I tip my hat and tell him "These are my kind of tithes" [Chorus] I was raised on sinners That’s the blood in me Black sheep backbone Wild and free If there’s a line to cross That’s where I’ll be Yeah I ain’t no saint I’m just sinners like me (oh, just sinners like me) [Bridge] So don’t you dare try to clean my name That dirt’s my story That dust my fame If heaven’s got a back door That’s where I’ll sneak in Hat low Boots worn Smelling like sin [Chorus] I was raised on sinners That’s the blood in me Black sheep backbone Wild and free If there’s a line to cross That’s where I’ll be Yeah I ain’t no saint I’m just sinners like me (hell-raised, unchained) Just sinners like me
