Lyrics Ricky Skaggs

Ricky Skaggs

Don't Get Above Your Raising

Well, I got a gal that's sweet to me

She just ain't what she used to be

Just a little high headed

That's plain to see

Don't get above your raisin'

Stay down to earth with me

Now lookee here gal don't you high hat me

I ain't forgot what you used to be

When you didn't have nothin'

That was plain to see

Don't get above your raisin'

Stay down to earth with me

Now you don't have to raise your head so high

Every time you pass me by

'Cause it don't mean nuthin'

To me you see

Don't get above your raisin'

Stay down to earth with me

Now look here, gal, you'd better be yourself

And leave that other stuff on the shelf

You're a country, baby

That's plain to see

Don't get above your raisin'

Stay down to earth with me

Well, I got a gal that's sweet to me

She just ain't what she used to be

Just a little high headed

That's plain to see

Don't get above your raisin'

Stay down to earth with me
