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

Written by：Tommy Collins[00:00:06]

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

Took a blacktop[00:00:15]

Seven miles[00:00:16]

Down by the old[00:00:19]

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

As a child[00:00:24]

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

The proud old home[00:00:31]

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

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

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

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

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

And see 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 I didn't want to wake him[00:01:29]

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

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

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

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

For us kids[00:01:48]

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

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

Simply on his word[00:02:02]

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

I come back[00:02:13]

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

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

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

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