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.
