Roots

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
