Texty: Josh Turner. Everything Is Fine. The Way He Was Raised.

He always wore those worn out flip-flops
Spent hours in his daddy?s workshop
He loved being on the water
Fishin? with His friends

He always listened to the old folks
When they?d tell stories and crack jokes
Didn?t talk back to his mama
When she got onto Him

Oh, that?s just the way He was raised
Had to finish all His chores ?fore He could go outside and play
They always went to church, that?s where He learned how to pray
And that?s just the way He was raised

He grew His hair out when He got older
Grew it clear down to His shoulders
Started hangin? with the outcasts
When He went off to town

Some called Him a troublemaker
Even some said a lawbreaker
No matter how they talked about Him
He never put nobody down

?Cause that?s just the way He was raised
When people start to gossip He?d just walk away
He always loved His neighbor no matter what they?d say
Oh, that?s just the way He was raised

On a cross, on a hill
That long haired boy was killed
All our sins washed away
When He walked out of that grave

Oh, that?s just the way He was raised
There?s no way we can measure the sacrifice He made
He knew He had to die for our debt to be paid
Oh, that?s just the way He was raised

It took the hand of God to roll the stone away
And that?s just the way He was raised
Yeah, that?s just the way He was raised
