Dragging These Roots (Demo)

Grew up on a creek bank, listen to some old Hank

Breathing in the smoke of a paper mill town

Just hangin' and bangin' around

Just bangin' around

Yeah, 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 and I found

Dragging 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 going to

Ooh, dragging these roots

Yeah, I learned how to hustle

Watching daddy bust it

Working on cars in the weeds in the yard

Guess the apple didn't fall that far

Didn't fall that far

Yeah, you can bring a shovel, it ain't worth the trouble

Can't dig up what's in your heart

Wherever you go, there you are

Yeah, dragging these roots like a bag of bones (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 (Never gonna cut 'em loose)

Yeah, I got where I got, and I get where I'm going to

Ooh, dragging these roots

Dragging these roots

Just dragging these, dragging these roots

Dragging these, dragging these roots

Grew up on a creek bank, listen to some old Hank

Breathing in the smoke of a paper mill town

Hard to make a green dollar in a dried up holler

Even when you leave, you'll never get out (You never get out, you never get out)

Yeah, dragging these roots like a bag of bones (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 (Never gonna cut 'em loose)

Yeah, I got where I got, and I get where I'm going to

Ooh, dragging these roots

Dragging these roots

Dragging these, dragging these, dragging these, dragging these roots
