Dragging These Roots

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Grew up on a creek bank, listenin' to some old HankBreathin' in the smoke of a paper mill townJust hangin' and bangin' around (Just bangin' around)Yeah, it's hard to make a green dollar in a dried-up hollerEven when you leave, no, you never get outThe further I got, the more I found (I found)Draggin' these roots like a bag of bonesI guess where I'm from won't let me goA hickory heart and a moonshine soulA little more grit than a gravel roadYou can cover 'em up, shake off the dustBut you're never gonna cut 'em looseYeah, I got where I got, and I get where I'm goin' toJust draggin' these rootsYeah, I learned how to hustle watchin' daddy bust, yeahWorkin' on the cars and the weeds in the yardI guess the apple didn't fall that far(Didn't fall that far)Yeah, you can bring a shovel, but it ain't worth the troubleCan't dig up what's in your heartWherever you go, there you areDraggin' these roots like a bag of bonesI guess where I'm from won't let me goA hickory heart and a moonshine soulA little more grit than a gravel roadYou can cover 'em up, shake off the dustBut you're never gonna cut 'em looseYeah, I got where I got, and I get where I'm goin' toJust draggin' these rootsYeah, I'm draggin' these rootsLike a bag of bonesNo, it won't let me goGrew up on a creek bank, listenin' to some old HankBreathin' in the smoke of a paper mill townHard to make a green dollar in a dried up hollerEven when you leave, you never get out (You never get out)You never get outDraggin' these roots like a bag of bonesI guess where I'm from won't let me goA hickory heart and a moonshine soulA little more grit than a gravel road (Gravel road)You can cover 'em up, shake off the dustBut you're never gonna cut 'em looseYeah, I got where I got, and I get where I'm goin' toJust draggin' these rootsI'm draggin' these roots with me
