Lyrics The Roots of My Raising

I left the four lane highway

Took a black-top 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 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 raisin' run deep

I pulled into the driveway

Lord it sure was good to be there

And I could see through the open door that dad was asleep in his favorite chair

In his hand was a picture of mom and I remembered how close they were

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 whose 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 raisin' run deep
