The Way He Was Raised Lyrics


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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Josh Turner is a country artist who describes his music as South Carolina Lowcountry. His voice and musical style has often been compared to that of Johnny Cash's. Hailing from the Hannah, South Carolina, Josh moved to Nashville in 1996 to study music at Belmont University. It was there that he met his current wife, Jennifer Ford, whom he married in 2003. During that same year, he released his debut album, Long Black Train. The title song "Long Black Train" peaked at #13 on Billboard's US Country chart, staying on the charts for over 40 weeks.

Your Man, Josh's 2nd album, was released early 2006. The first single was the title track, "Your Man," which eventually climbed all the way to number 1. His big hit, though, was his second single, "Would You Go With Me." This song solidified the album's soon platinum status. His Christian-themed "Me And God" was released as a single on the christian radio circuit. It was a moderate success, and was eventually released as a single on the Country radio.

"Time Is Love," is the first single from Josh Turner's fifth studio album. It finds him turning the phrase "time is money" on its head: ("Time is love / Gotta run / Love to hang longer but I got someone who waits / Waits for me and right now she's where I need to be / Time is love, gotta run.") The song was released digitally on December 20, 2011 and for radio adds on January 8, 2012. (Time Is Love Songfacts)
