Raise em' up I'm talkin' 'bout lighter on a Saturday night The band plays a song you like And you sing along
Raise em' up I'm talkin' 'bout daddy's old pick-up truck Shotgun seat there's the one you love And you're kissin' on
Get those white sails sailin' down in Mexico It's just a whiskey glass If you ain't makin' a toast Lift your tear-filled eyes Up to the sky Comin' home you've been gone too long Tonight we're gonna Raise em' up
Raise em' up You've got a voice, you've got a choice Go make some noise Don't ever let em' tell you Who you are
Raise em' up Fist black and blue Fight for the truth It's what you do Hand on your heart For the stripes and stars
Black umbrellas in the pourin' rain Sunday morning coming down Amazing Grace Lift those tear-filled eyes up to the sky And as the flag flies say goodbye Tonight we're gonna raise em' up
So you meet someone The only one You take her by the hand Make a stand Buy some land Make some love And then babies come Raise em' up Raise em' up
Raise em' up Trophy high Raise em' up To the sky Raise em' up Show everybody that new born smile Raise em' up Tall and strong Raise em' up Right from wrong Raise em' up so damn high they can hear God singing along.
