(Tommy Collins)

I left the four lane highway took a blacktop seven miles
Down by the old country school I went to as a child
Two miles down a gravel road I could see the proud old home
A tribute to a way of life that's almost come and gone.

The roots of my raising run deep
I come back for the strength that I need
And hope comes no matter how far down
I sink the roots of my raising run deep.

I pulled into the driveway Lord it sure was good to be there
And through the open door I could see that dad was asleep in his favorite chair
In his hand was a picture of mom and I remembered how close they were
So I just turned away I didn't want to wake him spoil his dreams of her.

A christian Mom who had the strength for life the way she did
Then to pull that apron off and do the Charleston for us kids
Dad a quiet man who's gentle voice was seldom heard
Who could borrow money at the bank simply on his word.

The roots of my raisin' run deep
I come back for the strength that I need
And hope comes no matter how far down
I sink the roots of my raising run deep.

The roots of my raisin' run deep...


Mirror lyrics:

The roots of my raisin' run deep...

I sink the roots of my raising run deep.
And hope comes no matter how far down
I come back for the strength that I need
The roots of my raisin' run deep

Who could borrow money at the bank simply on his word.
Dad a quiet man who's gentle voice was seldom heard
Then to pull that apron off and do the Charleston for us kids
A christian Mom who had the strength for life the way she did

So I just turned away I didn't want to wake him spoil his dreams of her.
In his hand was a picture of mom and I remembered how close they were
And through the open door I could see that dad was asleep in his favorite chair
I pulled into the driveway Lord it sure was good to be there

I sink the roots of my raising run deep.
And hope comes no matter how far down
I come back for the strength that I need
The roots of my raising run deep

A tribute to a way of life that's almost come and gone.
Two miles down a gravel road I could see the proud old home
Down by the old country school I went to as a child
I left the four lane highway took a blacktop seven miles
