Story Behind The Song

Sitting in a local tavern one afternoon and a friend of mine had payed some good ol' Merle Haggard and I said wow you can't be old enough to know the Hag. She said "my Daddy loved Merle Haggard, I was raised on the good stuff". RAISED ON THE GOOD STUFF was born. I sent the song title idea to my co-writer and he ran with it!
