Testo The Roots of My Raisin' - Merle Haggard
Testo della canzone The Roots of My Raisin' (Merle Haggard), tratta dall'album Merle Haggard ''the Number 1's
I left the four-lane highway, took a blacktop seven miles
Down by the old country school I went to as a child
Three miles down a gravel road, I could see the proud old home
A tribute to a way of life that's almost come and gone
The roots of my raising run deep
I've come back for the strength that I need
And hope comes no matter how far down I sink
The roots of my raising run deep
I pulled up in the driveway, and boy, it sure was good to be there
And through the open door, I could see
That Dad was asleep in his favorite chair
In his hand was a picture of Mom, and I remembered how close they were
So I just turned away, didn't want to
Wake him and spoil his dreams of her
A Christian mom who had the strength for life the way she did
Then to pull that apron off and do the Charleston for us kids
Dad, a quiet man whose gentle voice was seldom heard
Who could borrow money at the bank simply on his word
The roots of my raising run deep
I've come back for the strength that I need
And hope comes no matter how far down I sink
The roots of my raising run deep
The roots of my raising run deep
