Roots of My Raisin' - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)[00:00:00]

I left the four lane highway took a blacktop seven miles[00:00:12]

Down by the old country school I went to as a child[00:00:20]

Three miles down a gravel road I could see the proud old home[00:00:27]

A tribute to a way of life that's almost come and gone[00:00:34]

The roots of my raisin' run deep[00:00:42]

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

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

The roots of my raisin' run deep[00:01:01]

I pulled into the driveway lord it sure was good to be there[00:01:10]

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

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

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

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

So I just turned away[00:01:29]

I didn't want to wake him spoil his dreams of her[00:01:30]

A christian mom who had the strength for life the way she did[00:01:37]

Then to pull that apron off and do the Charleston for us kids[00:01:44]

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

Who could borrow money at the bank simply on his word[00:01:58]

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

I've come back for the strength that I need[00:02:13]

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

The roots of my raisin' run deep[00:02:25]

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