Roots

I can't outrun these roots

Even if I wanted to

Cause they run too strong, run too deep,

Cutting right through the heart of me.

 

It doesn’t matter where I plant these boots.

I can't outrun these roots.

There's still that back-home part of me,

that can't help but see things differently.

 

I see no need to put a 'G' on the end of huntin' or fishin'

I still have granddaddy's bible, his old rifle and his name

I also have his ‘pour a little more’

Coarsin' through my veins.

 

No, it doesn’t matter where I plant these boots;

I can't outrun these roots.
