Roots

You don’t know why I yell so loud

Anytime we have a fight

I’m sorry I can’t sleep

Without the tv light

I know I cry sippin wine

But a strong red brings me back

I’m not sure love can fix me

Think it goes a little deeper than that

It’s in my roots

It’s in my blood

It’s everything that I’m made of

I’ve tried to grow and let them go

But no matter what I do

Can’t wish a wildflower

To a rose

Would have done it for you

A long time ago

Just when I think I’m about to bloom

Go back to my roots

I grew up fast anywhere that momma could afford

Sometimes my nightlight was the clock from that green hatchback Ford

You grew up in a picture-perfect home I never had

I know you won’t give up on us but you gotta understand

It’s in my roots

It’s in my blood

It’s everything that I’m made of

I’ve tried to grow and let them go

But no matter what I do

Can’t wish a wildflower

To a rose

Would have done it for you

A long time ago

Just when I think I’m about to bloom

Go back to my roots

Been trying to have what I never had

Fill the holes in my heart with you

But a wildflower is beautiful on her own right down to

What’s in my roots

What’s in my blood

Everything that I’m made of

I’ve tried to grow and let them go

But no matter what I do

Can’t wish a wildflower

To a rose

Would have done it for you

A long time ago

I think the only way I can bloom

Go back to my roots
