ROOTS by Chad Roland & Jerry Glidewell © 2023
1. There’s a tree out in the front yard
dancing in the wind
laughing at the rain
with a sweetgum grin
daddy carved mama’s name in a Big heart
with my grandpa’s Randall knife
said if you’re counting on forever
I’ll be standing by your side
Chorus: We got Roots – Roots – Roots
We got country in our boots
simple livin’ - Strong conviction
Through and through
I’m my daddy’s (mama’s) little man
Small town boy that’s who I am
Way down deep – tried and true
We got ROOTS (Roots, Roots, Roots connecting me and you)
2. They say the world now it needs changing
ain’t no future in the past
just slam her into gear
don’t look back
But my truck still has a rear view
and my mama told me son
if you’re gonna get to where you’re going
don’t forget where you came from
Repeat Chorus
Bridge: sometimes us folks may disagree
but when times get tight - We’ll be alright
we’re all part of a family tree
instrumental and repeat chorus & tag
