Dragging These Roots
Grew up on a creek bank, listenin' to some old Hank
Breathin' in the smoke of a paper mill town
Just hangin' and bangin' around (Just bangin' around)
Yeah, it's hard to make a green dollar in a dried-up holler
Even when you leave, no, you never get out
The further I got, the more I found (I found)
Draggin' these roots like a bag of bones
I guess where I'm from won't let me go
A hickory heart and a moonshine soul
A little more grit than a gravel road
You can cover 'em up, shake off the dust
But you're never gonna cut 'em loose
Yeah, I got where I got, and I get where I'm goin' to
Just draggin' these roots
Yeah, I learned how to hustle watchin' daddy bust, yeah
Workin' on the cars and the weeds in the yard
I 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 trouble
Can't dig up what's in your heart
Wherever you go, there you are
Draggin' these roots like a bag of bones
I guess where I'm from won't let me go
A hickory heart and a moonshine soul
A little more grit than a gravel road
You can cover 'em up, shake off the dust
But you're never gonna cut 'em loose
Yeah, I got where I got, and I get where I'm goin' to
Just draggin' these roots
Yeah, I'm draggin' these roots
Like a bag of bones
No, it won't let me go
Grew up on a creek bank, listenin' to some old Hank
Breathin' in the smoke of a paper mill town
Hard to make a green dollar in a dried up holler
Even when you leave, you never get out (You never get out)
You never get out
Draggin' these roots like a bag of bones
I guess where I'm from won't let me go
A hickory heart and a moonshine soul
A little more grit than a gravel road (Gravel road)
You can cover 'em up, shake off the dust
But you're never gonna cut 'em loose
Yeah, I got where I got, and I get where I'm goin' to
Just draggin' these roots
I'm draggin' these roots with me
Breathin' in the smoke of a paper mill town
Just hangin' and bangin' around (Just bangin' around)
Yeah, it's hard to make a green dollar in a dried-up holler
Even when you leave, no, you never get out
The further I got, the more I found (I found)
Draggin' these roots like a bag of bones
I guess where I'm from won't let me go
A hickory heart and a moonshine soul
A little more grit than a gravel road
You can cover 'em up, shake off the dust
But you're never gonna cut 'em loose
Yeah, I got where I got, and I get where I'm goin' to
Just draggin' these roots
Yeah, I learned how to hustle watchin' daddy bust, yeah
Workin' on the cars and the weeds in the yard
I 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 trouble
Can't dig up what's in your heart
Wherever you go, there you are
Draggin' these roots like a bag of bones
I guess where I'm from won't let me go
A hickory heart and a moonshine soul
A little more grit than a gravel road
You can cover 'em up, shake off the dust
But you're never gonna cut 'em loose
Yeah, I got where I got, and I get where I'm goin' to
Just draggin' these roots
Yeah, I'm draggin' these roots
Like a bag of bones
No, it won't let me go
Grew up on a creek bank, listenin' to some old Hank
Breathin' in the smoke of a paper mill town
Hard to make a green dollar in a dried up holler
Even when you leave, you never get out (You never get out)
You never get out
Draggin' these roots like a bag of bones

A little more grit than a gravel road (Gravel road)
You can cover 'em up, shake off the dust
But you're never gonna cut 'em loose
Yeah, I got where I got, and I get where I'm goin' to
Just draggin' these roots
I'm draggin' these roots with me
