《The Roots of My Raising》歌词

[00:00:00] The Roots of My Raising - Hag

[00:00:06] Written by：Tommy Collins

[00:00:12] I left the four lane highway

[00:00:15] Took a blacktop

[00:00:16] Seven miles

[00:00:19] Down by the old

[00:00:21] Country school I went to

[00:00:24] As a child

[00:00:27] Three miles down a gravel road I could see

[00:00:31] The proud old home

[00:00:34] A tribute to a way of life

[00:00:38] That's almost come and gone

[00:00:42] The roots of my rasing run deep

[00:00:49] I come back for the strength that I need

[00:00:55] And hope comes no matter how far down I sink

[00:01:01] The roots of my raising run deep

[00:01:10] I pulled into the driveway

[00:01:13] Lord it sure was good to be there

[00:01:17] And see the open door I could see that

[00:01:19] Dad was asleep in his favorite chair

[00:01:23] In his hand was a picture of mom

[00:01:26] And I remembered how close they were

[00:01:29] So I just turned away I didn't want to wake him

[00:01:33] Spoil his dreams of her

[00:01:36] A christian mom who had the strength

[00:01:39] For life the way she did

[00:01:44] Then to pull that apron off and do the charleston

[00:01:48] For us kids

[00:01:52] Dad a quiet man who's gentle voice was seldom heard

[00:01:58] Who could borrow money at the bank

[00:02:02] Simply on his word

[00:02:06] The roots of my raisin' run deep

[00:02:13] I come back

[00:02:14] For the strength that I need

[00:02:19] And hope comes no matter how far down I sink

[00:02:26] The roots of my raising run deep

[00:02:31] The roots of my raising run deep
