Southern Roots (feat. Katie Pruitt)
Crossing over county lines
Sunlight breaking through the pines
Bible quotes on billboard signs
Don't change your mind
There's a reason I don't come back here
Except a couple times a year
Where familiarity and fear
Intertwine
If there's one thing I've found
You can't change the way you sound
You can only change the words that you choose
So I'm putting in the work
I'm digging in the dirt
I'm replanting my southern roots
Haunted by the history
Tangled in my family tree
Hate disguised as reverie
As if by design
Oh, those boys back home are much too proud
Of this god forsaken battle ground
And that flag that they still won't take down
After all this time
And if there's one thing I've found
You can't change the way you sound
You can only change the words that you choose
So I'm putting in the work
I'm digging in the dirt
I'm replanting my southern roots
There's a great responsibility
That comes with this geography
So right here I'll plant a brand new seed
And watch it grow
If there's one thing I've found
You can't change the way you sound
You can only change the words that you choose
So I'm putting in the work
I'm digging in the dirt
I'm replanting my southern roots
Sunlight breaking through the pines
Bible quotes on billboard signs
Don't change your mind
There's a reason I don't come back here
Except a couple times a year
Where familiarity and fear
Intertwine
If there's one thing I've found
You can't change the way you sound
You can only change the words that you choose
So I'm putting in the work
I'm digging in the dirt
I'm replanting my southern roots
Haunted by the history
Tangled in my family tree
Hate disguised as reverie
As if by design
Oh, those boys back home are much too proud
Of this god forsaken battle ground
And that flag that they still won't take down
After all this time
And if there's one thing I've found
You can't change the way you sound
You can only change the words that you choose
So I'm putting in the work
I'm digging in the dirt
I'm replanting my southern roots
There's a great responsibility
That comes with this geography
So right here I'll plant a brand new seed
And watch it grow
If there's one thing I've found
You can't change the way you sound
You can only change the words that you choose
So I'm putting in the work
I'm digging in the dirt
I'm replanting my southern roots
