As recorded by Craig Morgan (2025 release) [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
