Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm still running thirty threes up underneath this truck
Even though rush hour concrete's the only place I'm gettin' stuck
Ain't on the farm no more, but on a stretch of sunny days
I still catch myself lookin' up at the sky, prayin' for a little rain
[Verse 2]
No, I can't outrun these roots
Even if I wanted to
'Cause they run too strong, run too deep
Cuttin' right through the heart of me
No, it don't matter where I plant these boots
I can't outrun these roots
I can't outrun these roots
[Verse 3]
There's still that back home part of me
That can't help but see things a little different
Like how there ain't no need
To put a G on the end of huntin' or fishin'
And I still got grand daddy's bible
His old rifle, and his name
But I also got his pour a little more
Coursin' through my veins
[Verse 4]
No, I can't outrun these roots
Even if I wanted to
'Cause they run too strong, run too deep
Cuttin' right through the heart of me
No, it don't matter where I plant these boots
I can't outrun these roots
[Verse 5]
Thank God I can't
They're tangled up in every part of who I am
Without 'em I know I don't stand a chance
I can't outrun these roots
I can't outrun these roots
[Verse 6]
'Cause they run too strong, run too deep
Cuttin' right through the heart of me
No, it don't matter where I plant these boots
I can't outrun these roots
I can't outrun these roots
