|A   |D   |A  |D D7|


[Verse 1]
             A
Got a little southern drawl in my talk
       D
Little pickup truck on my highway
             A
Got a little boot stomp in my walk
       D
Little neon lighting my Friday
         A
Got some Tennessee in my whiskey
        D7
Raise a cup up if you with me


[Chorus]
      A
I was raised on Merle, raised on Willie
       D
Got my Honky Tonk attitude from Joe Diffie
A
Daddy did too, it's family tradition
   D
If someone cranks it up, you can't help but listen
A                         D
My upbringing sounds like George Strait singing
      A
And I gotta give props to the radio
              D                                A         D
'Cause if you know me, I was raised on country


[Verse 2]
              A
It's the only reason that I survived
      D
Every breakup and every party
         A
It's the soundtrack to my life
D7
It runs deep in my DNA


[Chorus]
      A
I was raised on Merle, raised on Willie
       D
Got my Honky Tonk attitude from Joe Diffie
A
Daddy did too, it's family tradition
   D
If someone cranks it up, you can't help but listen
A                         D
My upbringing sounds like George Strait singing
      A
And I gotta give props to the radio
              D                                A         D
'Cause if you know me, I was raised on country
                        A         D
I was raised on country


[Bridge]
 A
(Raised on country music)
          D7
Learned a lot about living and a little 'bout love
 A
(Raised on country music)
        D7
And you know that's something I'm so proud of


[Chorus]
      A
I was raised on Merle, raised on Willie
       D
Got my Honky Tonk attitude from Joe Diffie
A
Daddy did too, it's family tradition
   D
If someone cranks it up, you can't help but listen
A                         D
My upbringing sounds like George Strait singing
      A
And I gotta give props to the radio
              D
'Cause if you know me, I was raised on country
 A                  D
(Raised on country music) Yeah, I was raised on country
 A                  D
(Raised on country music) I was raised on country


[Outro]
 A
