I'll Grow My Own

I'll Grow My Own - Chris Cagle

Up and down the roads we'd go

Tearing up the ground we'd sown

With corn and beans and greens and oat

Yeah man it was hard

And I learned I could beg no more

When we'd drive by that country store

When Grandpa would say "What you need it for

Ain't got nothing we ain't got"

You couldn't tell that old man nothing

He was backwards to the bone

He said let me tell you something boy

If there's something I want

I'll grow my own

Yeah all I need is G-O-D

To bless the seeds

I've sown and pray for a little rain

Yeah my daddy was the same

He showed me as a kid

How to live and let live

If you think you know what's good for me

You don't I'll grow my own

As long as schools keep washing brains

On how to ride that gravy train

And teaching kids that there just ain't no God up in the sky

As long as they say guns are bad

And you don't need no mom and dad

And sex is just some fun you have

And love is all a lie

I pray for all those kids you raise

On my hardworking dime

But unless you change your crazy ways

You ain't raising mine

I'll grow my own

Yeah all I need is G-O-D

To bless the seeds

I've sown and pray for a little rain

Yeah my daddy was the same

He showed me as a kid

How to live and let live

If you think you know what's good for me

Well you don't man I'll grow my own

Yes I will

Your lips are moving hell I can see them

Mr Politician I just don't believe 'em

You want my money you want my freedom

You want my rights but I'ma fight like hell to keep 'em

You want my sweat you want my blood

You want my daughters and my sons

But I'll grow my own

Yeah all I need is G-O-D

To bless the seeds

I've sown and pray for a little rain

Yeah my daddy was the same

He showed me as a kid

How to live and let live

If you think you know what's good for us you don't

Yeah the best thing you can do is leave us alone

I'll grow my own

Yeah I'll grow my own
