James Taylor - Raised Up Family [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse]
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 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 want to go?

[Outro]
Way back in Raleigh, North Carolina
