I left the four lane highway took a blacktop seven miles [00:00:13]
Down by the old country school I went to as a child [00:00:21]
Two miles down a gravel road I could see the proud old home [00:00:28]
A tribute to a way of life that's almost come and gone [00:00:35]
The roots of my rasing run deep [00:00:43]
I come back for the strength that I need [00:00:50]
And hope comes no matter how far down I sink [00:00:57]
The roots of my raising run deep [00:01:03]
I pulled into the driveway lord it sure was good to be there [00:01:10]
And I could see the open door [00:01:16]
That dad was asleep in his favorite chair [00:01:18]
In his hand was a picture of Mom [00:01:24]
And I remembered how close they were [00:01:27]
So I just turned away [00:01:31]
I didn't want to wake him spoil his dreams of her [00:01:34]
A christian Mom who had the strength for life the way she did [00:01:39]
Then to pull that apron off and do the charleston for us kids [00:01:46]
Dad a quiet man who's gentle voice was seldom heard [00:01:54]
Who could borrow money at the bank simply on his word [00:02:01]
The roots of my raising run deep [00:02:09]
I've come back for the strength that I need [00:02:16]
And hope comes no matter how far down I sink [00:02:22]
The roots of my raising run deep [00:02:28]
The roots of my raising run deep [00:02:34]
