In Born & Raised Dana is recalling her childhood with her dysfunctional father, who went to jail, and her mother, who used to be a stripper. The song tells of how her mother was able to hold it all together while providing a warm, loving home for her children.

After church on Sunday, sat down in our front room
Then our daddy told us kids that he'd be leavin' soon
Momma sat there with a rag, she wiped her sweaty brow
Pulled us close and then she said we'd make it through somehow
‘Cause we were born & raised
And born & raised in love
Oh, all I need from you today is love
Love is not the killin' kind
A little lovin' will blow your mind
If your'e born & raised,
And born & raised in love
Now we get daddy's letters, they were from the county jail
They said he'd be home soon, if we could just raise bail
Pass the plate on Sunday, thought we'd take it up from the crowd
The preacher started preachin', started shoutin' right out loud
Said we were born & raised
And born & raised in love
Oh, all I need from you today is love
You know you're born & raised
And born & raised in love
Oh, all I need from you today is love
Love is not the killin' kind
A little lovin' will blow your mind
If your'e born & raised,
And born & raised in love
