Lyrics

I do things that I regret and I'm left here wondering why
Been digging up weeds by the family tree
Pulling up truth and lies
Got my daddy's grit and my momma's charm but I wear them just like a disguise
His recklessness, her passiveness are hidden behind these eyes
I built the fences, I cut the ties
Couldn't keep the distance
Lord knows I tried
Well I spent 30 years trying to run from my legacy but it can't be done
They planted the seeds
These roots run deep
Got the need to win in my blood
I'm in a fight that can't be won
It's got ahold of me
These roots run deep
Guess I'm just like my brothers
We share more than our name
Can't get a grip on the good
But we hold on to shame
When the fire gets to burning
And I can't stop the rage
I wonder if I'm strong enough
To not reach for a drink
I built the fences
I cut the ties
Can I keep the distance from what's inside
Well I spent 30 years trying to run from my legacy but it can't be done
They planted the seeds
These roots run deep
Got the need to win in my blood
I'm in a fight that can't be won
It's got ahold of me
These roots run deep
White lies
Stepping out
Numb the pain
Placing blame
White lies
Stepping out
Numb the pain
Placing blame
I spent 30 years trying to run from my legacy but it can't be done
They planted the seeds
These roots run deep
Got the need to win in my blood
I'm in a fight that can't be won
It's got ahold of me
These roots run deep
These roots run deep
These roots run deep
These roots run deep
These roots run deep
These roots run deep
These roots run deep
These roots run deep
