Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown - Roots

[Verse 1]
Well I rolled out of Texas bound for Nashville, Tennessee
Seventeen years young, no I had never felt so free
And when I passed through Memphis, I tipped my hat to the king
'Cause roots run deep
You'll always hit a road block, when you're runnin' down a dream
And it's hard to make a dollar bending rusty old guitar strings
But when the band gets cookin', man I wouldn't change a thing
'Cause

[Chorus]
Learned to swim in Muddy Waters
Learned to walk on Rolling Stones
Forever in the shotgun seat
Turning up the radio songs
You see, I was born shakin' the leaves right off my family tree
And you know what's underneath
These roots run deep

[Verse 2]
It don't matter if I win or lose, I'm bettin' on this hand
And I wound up like my grandpa did, playing in a traveling band
And I miss my old friend Rosie, but he knew what would become of me
Because roots run deep (oh yeah)

[Chorus]
Learned to swim in Muddy Waters
Learned to walk on Rolling Stones
Forever in the shotgun seat
Turning up the radio songs
Well I was born shakin' the leaves right off my family tree
And you know what's underneath
These roots run deep

[Bridge]

Well I'm here because I mean it
And it's the only thing I know
Go on try to cut me down
See how far they go
Roots run deep
Roots run deep

[Chorus]
Learned to swim in Muddy Waters
Learned to walk on Rolling Stones
Forever in the shotgun seat
Turning up the radio
Well I was born shakin' the leaves right off my family tree
A storm might break the branches, but it it can't touch what's underneath

These roots run deep (Roots run deep, roots run deep)
