Roots (Still Runnin')

My roots run deep but they're still running and I’m really not sure if they’re ever gonna stop

I was raised in the shade of a homegrown magnolia tree

And I’ve seen the real green grass as blue as the song it sings

From a California beach to a Smoky Mountain Breeze

Every postcard in between

I can’t slow down

Gotta leave now

My roots run deep but they're still running and I’m really not sure if they’re ever gonna stop

I’m proud of where I’m from and I’m proud of where I’m going and it’s pedal to the medal so I can’t stay long

Where I’ve been it just sinks in to who I am that’s fine by me

My heart can’t stop searching for something

My roots run deep but they’re still running

I come from a whole bunch of lonesome vagabonds like me

And I'm proud to say my mama made me a 5th generation gypsy

Well, I guess I just carry on tradition

When I fire up the ignition

I can’t slow down

Gotta leave now

My roots run deep but they're still running and I’m really not sure if they’re ever gonna stop

I’m proud of where I’m from and I’m proud of where I’m going and it’s pedal to the medal so I can’t stay long

Where I’ve been it just sinks in to who I am that’s fine by me

My heart can’t stop searching for something

My roots run deep but they’re still running

Every dry desert they dig a little deeper

Hurricanes come and they won’t let go

Every drop of rain’s got ‘em growing stronger

No matter where they roam

My roots run deep but they're still running and I’m really not sure if they’re ever gonna stop

I’m proud of where I’m from and I’m proud of where I’m going and it’s pedal so I gotta get gone

Where I’ve been it just sinks in to who I am that’s fine by me

My heart can’t stop searching for something

My roots run deep but they’re still running

 

Ah, yeah yeah

Every dry desert they dig a little deeper

Hurricanes come and they won't let go

Every drop of rain’s got ‘em growing stronger

No matter where they roam
