Lyrics

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, oh-oh
Yeah
Red dirt still on my hands
From the last time I was home
Cane rows stretching past the fence
Where my grandpa used to roam
Kingston got me working, got me moving, got me tired
But something in this small room keeps the old fire
I hear the steel pan through the wall
Some neighbor playing loud down the hall
And just like that, I'm back on the dock
Salt on my skin, watching the clock
Tick past all this noise
It ain't about forgetting where I came from, no
It's about carrying it right, letting the old ways show
St. Jude's Isle ain't somewhere I left behind
It moves when I move, life right inside
Island soil don't wash off easy
Red dirt in the blood runs deep and steady
From the cane fields to the city heat
My roots keep finding me
Yeah, my roots keep finding me
Coffee on the hillside
Great-grandma's hands picking slow
Everything she built in that mountain
I still know
I walk these Kingston streets like she walked them rows
Head up, back straight, that's how the story goes
Blue Mountain peaks a world away from here
But the way she moved, I feel it every year
Ain't just memory, man
It's bone and breathing blood
Generations deep in the mud, oh
It ain't about forgetting where I came from, no
It's about carrying it right, letting the old ways show
St. Jude's Isle ain't somewhere I left behind
It moves when I move, life right inside
Island soil don't wash off easy (Wash off easy)
Red dirt in the blood (Oh) runs deep and steady (Oh)
From the cane fields (Ooh) to the city heat (Hey)
My roots keep finding me (Yeah)
Yeah, my roots keep finding me (Hey)
She never left the island, not once in eighty years
Didn't need to, everything she loved was here
But she packed it into me before I ever knew
Everywhere I stand, everything I move through
Some nights Kingston swallows me whole
Too loud, too fast, no room to breathe
I just close my eyes and feel the red dirt
Pull me back up through the concrete underneath
Island soil don't wash off easy (Don't wash off easy)
Red dirt in the blood (Oh) runs deep and steady (Oh)
From the cane fields (Hey, hey) to the city heat (Hey, hey)
My roots keep finding me (Yeah)
Yeah, my roots keep finding me
St. Jude's Isle
Red dirt strong (Oh)
Wherever I go (Oh)
That's where I belong (Oh)
Wherever I go
That's where I belong
