Intro 1
(D major) (E minor) (D major) (A major) (G major) (A major) (D major)
Verse 1
I left (D major) the four lane
highway took a (G major) blacktop seven (D major) miles
Down by the old (A major) country (D major)
school I went (E major) to as a child (A major)
Two (D major) miles down a gravel road I
could see (G major) the proud old (D major) home
A tribute to a way of life that's
al (A major) most come and gone (D major)
The (G major) roots of my rasing run deep (D major) I come
back for the strength (E major) that I need (A major)
And (G major) hope comes no matter how far (D major) down
I sink (A major) the roots (G major) of my raising (A major) run (D major) deep

(D major)
I pulled into the driveway (G major) Lord

membered (G major) how close they were (D major)
So I just turned away I didn't want
to wake him (A major) spoil his dreams of her
(D major)

A christian mom who had the strength
for life (G major) the way she did (D major)
Then to pull that apron off and do
the Char (E major) leston for us kids (A major)
Dad (D major) a quiet man who's gentle
voice (G major) was seldom (D major) heard
Who could borrow money at the
bank simply (A major) on his word (D major)
The (G major) roots of my rais (E minor) in' (G major) run deep (D major) I
come back for the strength (E major) that I need (A major)

I sink (A major) the (G major) roots of my raising (A major) run (D major) deep
The (G major) roots of my raising (A major) run (D major) deep
