Gregory Reniska Sr. - Raised by the Road Lyrics

Mama stitched my jeans when the road tore 'em up
Stepdad packed the saddlebags poured whiskey in his cup
Twelve years old seen more than most men
Chrome and leather blood on the wind
From Gulfport nights to Sturgis lights
Where angels and outlaws settle their fights
I learned to stand never back down
Fist full of fire boots on the ground
I was raised by the road baptized in sin
Running with the lost never let 'em in
Whiskey and thunder a heart made of steel
Born to the wild no choice but to heal
Saw women bare as the moonlight sky
Watched men fall when the bullets fly
Ain't no preacher gonna save my soul
The devil's been with me since I was born
Saw women bare as the moonlight sky
Watched men fall when the bullets fly
Ain't no preacher gonna save my soul
The devil's been with me since I was born
Mama did her best but the road took hold
I was raised by wolves left out in the cold
Every scar I wear every mile I've run
A ghost in the dust chasing the sun
I was raised by the road baptized in sin
Running with the lost never let 'em in
Whiskey and thunder a heart made of steel
Born to the wild no choice but to heal
Riding through fire still bearing the brand
A child of the highway a self-made man
The past don't sleep it don't let go
But I keep on drivin' I was raised by the road...
