Five Points Road - Demun Jones, Cypress Spring

I was raised on the cane pole rod and reel

Grandpap’s made a name off his moonshine still

'69 Ranger is the truck my daddy drove

We go fish to catch dinner down Five Points Road

And I would get to drivin' way before I had a license

I check the ash tray for cigarette buds and light 'em

I built a fire on the bank with oak limbs and leaves

I drank Strawberry Boone’s and called some brim to eat

Girls would sneak out the house and join me if they could

Skinny swimmin' late night, man it felt so good

And I’ll never outlive, those memories are gold

All the ones that we made down Five Points Road

Ro-road-road

Dr-drop-drop that tailgate

Rais-rais-raised-raised dirt poor

Raised-raised dirt poor

Ro-road-road

Dr-drop-drop that tailgate

Rais-rais-raised-raised dirt poor

Raised-raised dirt poor

And I was raised dirt poor in a single wide in the country

Grew up with nothin' and tried to turn it to somethin'

Everyday I thank pops for makin' me who I am

Providin' for the fam' and learnin' to be a man

Ain’t a day went by I didn’t hustle for a buck

I ain’t scared to get dirty and turn a wrench on a truck

I’m a modern day gentleman, a prodigal son

I ain’t a low life two timer son of a gun

I’ma stick to roots, stay true to my ground

Mr. Miller passed away so I’m holdin' it down

But I still got hip with what it left me with

And that’s the knowledge of the world and fifth of Jim

Every day I wake up I thank the Lord above

For this 9 to 5, I stopped bein' a thug

'Cause that’s the way I was, I buried it in the mud

And now my grandpa can smile from a level above

From a lev-from a lev-from a level above

Rais-rais-raised-raised dirt poor

Raised-raised dirt poor

Ro-road-road

Dr-drop-drop that tailgate

Rais-rais-raised-raised dirt poor

Raised-raised dirt poor

Dug up some live bait and I can’t wait

Going to the dam where the river turns to a lake

Got a Ford full of friends and we stayin' up late

Step on the parkin' break and drop that tailgate

Dr-drop-drop that tailgate

Dr-drop-drop that tailgate

Rais-rais-raised-raised dirt poor

Raised-raised dirt poor

Ro-road-road

Dr-drop-drop that tailgate

Rais-rais-raised-raised dirt poor

Raised-raised dirt poor

Come on
