Born and Raised Lyrics

Cover art for Born and Raised lyrics by John Mayer

I think this has got to do with JM's parents getting a divorce, especially the lines

"I got a Mom I got a Dad but they do not have each other"

The song is hinting at a depression... a mourning for the loss of his childhood. It's the point in life when you realize that you aren't a child anymore, you're really born and raised... that your parents have finished taking care of you and now you get to live on your own or it's now your time to take care of them.
