[Am] [G] [C]
Pulled in off the [C] 4 lane, took [F] a black top 7 [C] miles
And by the little country school house [D] I went to as a [G] child
[C] Two miles down a gravel road I [F] could see the proud [C] old home
A tribute to a way of life [G] that's almost dead and [C] gone
[D] Over [F] the roots of my raising run deep
I [D] come back for [D] the strength that [G] I need
[Em] [F] And hope comes no matter how far down I sink
[C] Cause the roots of [G] my raising [C] run deep
When [G]
I pulled into the drive, [F] it was sure good to [C] be there
And I could see through the open door, [D] dad was [G] asleep in his favorite chair
And [C] in his hand was a picture of mom, [F] I [C] remember how close they were
So I just turned away, I didn't [G] want to wake him [C] and ruin his dreams of her
A Christian mom who had a love [F] for life the way she [C] did
Then to pull that apron off and [D] do the chow sing for [G] us kids
[C] Dad a quiet man whose gentle [F] voice was seldom [C] heard
Could borrow money at the bank [G] simply on [C] his word
Over [F] the roots of my raising [C] run deep
I [D] come back for the strength that [G] I need
And [F] hope comes no matter [C] how far down [F] I sink
Cause [C] the roots of [G] my raising [C] run deep
Yes the roots of [G] my raising [C] run deep
