Country Roots Lyrics

Country Roots (Pat Robinson, Brad Coleman) Grandma raised the kids alone Grandpa sent the money home Daddy had to leave to learn a trade Overalls and underpaid CHORUS This family tree has country roots There's southern pride walkin' in these boots What autumn leaves the spring renews This family tree has country roots Now mom became mama when she turned 18 We didn't have a lot but the clothes were clean Side by side, standing tall They helped each other through it all CHORUS BRIDGE You know we've come a long, long way By holdin' on to yesterday CHORUS Now to this man I will be true We've learned to live our "I love yous" In the arms of no one else A little respect for yourself
