| [00:13.51] |
I left the four lane highway |
| [00:16.38] |
Took a blacktop seven miles |
| [00:20.76] |
Down by the old country school I went to as a child |
| [00:28.82] |
Two miles down a gravel road |
| [00:31.45] |
I could see the proud old home |
| [00:36.06] |
A tribute to a way of life |
| [00:38.88] |
That's almost come and gone. |
| [00:43.65] |
The roots of my raising run deep |
| [00:50.83] |
I've come back for the strength that I need |
| [00:56.84] |
And hope comes no matter how far down I sink |
| [01:02.90] |
The roots of my raising run deep. |
| [01:09.84] |
I pulled into the driveway |
| [01:12.94] |
Lord it sure was good to be there |
| [01:16.63] |
And I could see through the open door |
| [01:19.56] |
That dad was asleep in his favorite chair |
| [01:24.44] |
In his hand was a picture of mom |
| [01:27.48] |
I remembered how close they were |
| [01:31.90] |
So I just turned away |
| [01:34.32] |
I didn't want to wake him spoil his dreams of her. |
| [01:39.26] |
A christian Mom who had the strength for life the way she did |
| [01:47.16] |
Then to pull that apron off and do the Charleston for us kids |
| [01:54.78] |
Dad a quiet man who's gentle voice was seldom heard |
| [02:01.76] |
Who could borrow money at the bank simply on his word. |
| [02:09.21] |
The roots of my raisin' run deep |
| [02:16.82] |
I've come back for the strength that I need |
| [02:22.86] |
And hope comes no matter how far down I sink |
| [02:28.61] |
The roots of my raising run deep. |
| [02:34.74] |
The roots of my raisin' run deep... |
| [02:38.36] |
