Roots Lyrics by Craig Morgan

American Soundtrack

2025

[Verse 1]
\nIt's an even trade for a dozen eggs
\nAnd a freezer bag of okra
\nFor a box-blade drag on your driveway
\nWith the neighbor's old Kubota
\nIt's a good old golden rule
\nBorn and bred into roots
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nThere's a rusty truck with a young buck
\nAll hugged up by the river
\nTo his sweetheart fresh off the farm
\nWearing a ring that he just give her
\nThey got a big old lover's moon
\nBut they'll wait 'til they say "I do"
\n'Cause they come from a long line of good roots
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nThey run deep and they run wide
\nThey'll always be right there inside
\nThey raise hell, they raise crops
\nThey raise barns and they raise stock
\nThey raise their praying calloused hands up in the steeple
\nFrom hat to boots, they pass down them roots of country people
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nNow it ain't all just southern drawls
\nFootball, farmin', and fishin'
\nIt's a hand on the heart for the Color Guard
\nAnd a helping hand in that soup kitchen
\nFaith, hope, love, and truth
\nSown in seeds that grew them roots
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nThey run deep and they run wide
\nThey'll always be right there inside
\nThey raise hell, they raise crops
\nThey raise barns and they raise stock
\nThey raise their praying calloused hands up in the steeple
\nFrom hat to boots, they pass down them roots of country people
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nYeah, we raise hell, we raise crops
\nWe raise barns and we raise stock
\nWe'll raise our praying calloused hands up in the steeple
\nFrom hat to boots, we'll pass down our roots of country people
\n
\n[Outro]
\nYeah, we're country people
\nPassing down our roots\n\n
