"I Got Roots" lyrics

If you knew it wasn't big enough for both of us
And it'd all end in a cloud of dust
If you knew she's everything I'd ever need
Why'd you raise her here just to let her leave

She put miles on that highway
I put turn rows on a tractor
She had something to chase down
I had nothing to chase after
You put stars in her eyes
And this red dirt on my boots
I guess she got wings
And I got roots

Yeah, I'm thankful for the hand I's delt
Cause if I'd never held her I'd a never felt
That love them days we had together
I still pray for her just like the weather

Cause she put miles on that highway
I put turn rows on a tractor
She had something to chase down
And I had nothing to chase after
You put stars in her eyes
And this red dirt on my boots
I guess she got wings
And I got roots

If you knew she's everything I'd ever need
Why'd you raise her here just to let her leave

Cause she put miles on that highway
I put turn rows on a tractor
She had something to chase down
And I had nothing to chase after
You put stars in her eyes
And this red dirt on my boots
I guess she got wings
And I got roots
