"
Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace" is a song by country music duo
Big & Rich.
The song is the second single and title track from their third studio album,
Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace.
In the song, they sing of the differing instructions they received while growing up; on the one hand they were raised to be moral,
Bible-reading hard-workers, while at the same time reminded that "it's no use to work [any] harder than you play."
As a result, they find themselves "between raising hell" ("passing out on Friday night") and "
Amazing Grace" (going to church every Sunday).
The song struggled to gain traction on the country charts, and in early November, as of the CMA Awards, the band pulled support from this single in favor of their next single, "Loud".
Music video
The duo released a music video (which they called a short film) for the song in October 2007.
In the video, Big Kenny plays a drunken preacher, and Rich a quick-shooting outlaw whose life Kenny saves, and the two face several residents in a quick draw.
