lyrics

I grew up in a trailer on some forty acres
With horses, a goat, and a dog
My dad liked to drink and my mom was abused
And my brother liked drugs and breakin' laws

But I rose above
I don't drink nearly as much
And when he hits me I fight back
And I was only arrested just once

My grandmaw and 'paw drink a liter of whiskey
And smoke three packs a day between 'em
My cousin's in jail for sellin' kids meth
And no amount of methadone can wean 'em

But I rose above
I don't smoke nearly as much
And I've never done meth, I've only smoked weed
And that's not even really a drug
I rose above
