"Dragging These Roots (Demo)" lyrics
Jesse Frasure, Josh Thompson & Ben Hayslip Lyrics
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
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
