Well, I was raised on the roar
Of a woman scorned
And just like me
Her daddy was gone for too long
And her mama gone crazy
Packing them kids up again
They'd beg, not again
And how long can we let this cycle spin
Cause, I was raised on the roar
Of a woman scorned
And our second daddy
Showed his love with bloody hands
Yeah, he's drunk again
And our mama, she gone crazy too
Scrubbin' blood down to bone
She's all alone
But I'll be damned to let it happen again
But, sometimes
The ones we love
Get that poison blood
You just go numb
Yeah, I was raised on the roar
Of a woman scorned
