[Intro]
G D A G D A
[Verse 1]
D Bm7 It's an even trade for a dozen eggs G And a freezer bag of okra D Bm7 For a box-blade drag on your driveway G With the neighbor's old Kubota D Bm7 It's a good old golden rule G A G D A Born and bred into roots
[Verse 2]
D Bm7 There's a rusty truck with a young buck G All hugged up by the river D Bm7 To his sweetheart fresh off the farm G Wearing a ring that he just give her D Bm7 They got a big old lover's moon G A But they'll wait 'til they say "I do" G A D 'Cause they come from a long line of good roots
[Chorus]
G D A They run deep and they run wide G D A They'll always be right there inside G D They raise hell, they raise crops A Bm They raise barns and they raise stock G D A They raise their praying calloused hands up in the steeple G A G D A From hat to boots, they pass down them roots of country people
[Verse 3]
D Bm Now it ain't all just southern drawls G Football, farmin', and fishin' D Bm It's a hand on the heart for the Color Guard G And a helping hand in that soup kitchen D Bm Faith, hope, love, and truth G A D Sown in seeds that grew them roots
[Chorus]
G D A They run deep and they run wide G D A They'll always be right there inside G D They raise hell, they raise crops A Bm They raise barns and they raise stock G D A They raise their praying calloused hands up in the steeple G A G D A From hat to boots, they pass down them roots of country people
[Guitar Solo]
G D A
[Chorus]
G D Yeah, we raise hell, we raise crops A Bm We raise barns and we raise stock G D A We'll raise our praying calloused hands up in the steeple G A G Bm A From hat to boots, we'll pass down our roots of country people
[Outro]
G A G D A Yeah, we're country people G D A G D A Passing down our roots
