Roots Lyrics

We teach our boys to say yes ma'am

Look people in the eyes when you shake their hand

You don't quit once you start

Got to give it all your heart

That's how we run these ground

We hold the doors for our gals

Respect our elders in this town

When you're forced to make your mark

Let your bite be more than bark

That's how we run these grounds

So darling hold me close

Don't let me know

Let our roots grow deep in this ground

We work another hour for the overtime

Breaking our backs out on the line

Mama makes dinner and we don't complain

Daddy thanks god for the rain

That's how we run these grounds

We ain't for much and that's ok

All that stuff just gets in the way

We pass these ways on down the line

Cause life ain't measured in nickels and dimes

That's how we run these grounds

So darlin hold me close

Don't let me know

Let our roots grow deep in this ground

Nobody grows young

You don't wanna to die with a loaded gun

Memories are all that'll stay

So come on baby lets seize the day

So darlin hold me close

Don't let me go

Let our roots grow deep in this ground

So darlin hold me close

Don't let me know

Let our roots grow deep in this ground

Let our roots grow deep in this ground
