Lyrics

BELOW HIS RAISIN’

He was raised up in Belair
With all the glitter and gold out there
Tennis Courts and Swimmin’ Pools, Lord he had it all
Ah but don’t you know
He was empty down in his soul
Till he heard some guy named Jones on the Radio

And
He got below his raisin’
From that moment he’s been praisin’
All the Stars on Country Radio
They brought Heart and Soul to his life
Changed his disenchanted wife
Now she smiles at him and tells him he’s amazin’
Ever since he got below his raisin’

If you go down Mulholland Drive
You won’t hear Beethoven’s Number Five
No it’s Steel Guitars and Fiddles, playin’ all night long
And where there used to be a Rolls out front
There’s a Ford dually pickup truck
And a big ol statue of George out on the lawn

Cause
(Repeat Chorus)

You know
They keep up with the Jones’
Out there
So now there’s statues of the Possum
Everywhere

All because
(Repeat Chorus)

Ever since he got below his raisin’
