Raised on Red Clay

[Verse 1] My roots run deep in that Georgia ground, Where the dirt stains red and the world slows down. Daddy swung hammers, Mama prayed for peace, We grew what we ate, and we lived on grease. Got scars on my hands and mud in my blood, Cut my teeth on tobacco and flood. Ain’t no silver spoon, ain’t no easy way, You earn your keep when you’re raised that way. [Chorus] Yeah, I was raised on red clay, Hot sun, cold beer, and judgment day. Where the preacher shouts and the devils play, And pride don’t wash off in the rain. That southern fire’s in my veins, I was born… and raised on red clay. 🔥 [Verse 2] Grandpa’s ghost still haunts that field, His old plow rusted, but the ground still yields. Got a .22 and a Bible on the dash, ‘Cause faith and fire both come in a flash. Been broke as hell, been bent but proud, Ain’t backin’ down, I’ll say it loud. You can take the boy off that red dirt track, But he’ll still bleed dust when you cut him back. [Chorus] Yeah, I was raised on red clay, Where sin and grace both find their way. We don’t talk big, we just obey That code we learned from the ones who stayed. You can’t buy what I became — I was born and raised on red clay. [Bridge] That dirt’s in my boots, in my bones, in my name, It’s the reason I fight, the reason I stay the same. You can polish your soul, try to hide the stains, But I’m proud of the dust that built my name. [Final Chorus] Yeah, I was raised on red clay, Hard luck, hard love, and long days. Got the Lord on my left and sin in my way, But I walk that line the southern way. When I die, don’t send me away — Just lay me down… In that red clay. [Outro] Smoke risin’ slow, sun burnin’ low, That dirt’s the only truth I know. Born to fight, not to fade away — ‘Cause I was raised… On red clay. 🪶🔥 Would you like me to give this one a musical break
