James Taylor - Raised Up Family lyrics

I was raised up family Man I'm glad I'm on my own I was raised up family Man I'm glad I'm on my own I mean, God bless the child That can learn to live alone, yeah thinking about about my cousin What it was that did him in Could it have been that whiskey Rotgut, bootleg, bathtub gin It's like it took a lot of liquor Just to let him live in his own skin Back in Raleigh, North Carolina You got to ride it on back In Raleigh, North Carolina The ship set down on the shore Of this uncharted desert island Me and my people fanned out I guess we settled down a little while Ah, but the devil came with the dark days of winter Man the children ran wild I used to know why No I don't know why anymore I used to know why No I don't know why no more I get to wonder at the Kundalini thunder Down under my floor You got to ride it on back Take me back Back in Raleigh, North Carolina Yeah, do you wanna go Way back in Raleigh, North Carolina
