[00:00.000] 作曲 : Merle Haggard/Tommy Collins
[00:13.51]I left the four lane highway
[00:16.38]Took a blacktop seven miles
[00:20.76]Down by the old country school I went to as a child
[00:28.82]Two miles down a gravel road
[00:31.45]I could see the proud old home
[00:36.06]A tribute to a way of life
[00:38.88]That's almost come and gone.
[00:43.65]The roots of my raising run deep
[00:50.83]I've come back for the strength that I need
[00:56.84]And hope comes no matter how far down I sink
[01:02.90]The roots of my raising run deep.
[01:09.84]I pulled into the driveway
[01:12.94]Lord it sure was good to be there
[01:16.63]And I could see through the open door
[01:19.56]That dad was asleep in his favorite chair
[01:24.44]In his hand was a picture of mom
[01:27.48]I remembered how close they were
[01:31.90]So I just turned away
[01:34.32]I didn't want to wake him spoil his dreams of her.
[01:39.26]A christian Mom who had the strength for life the way she did
[01:47.16]Then to pull that apron off and do the Charleston for us kids
[01:54.78]Dad a quiet man who's gentle voice was seldom heard
[02:01.76]Who could borrow money at the bank simply on his word.
[02:09.21]The roots of my raisin' run deep
[02:16.82]I've come back for the strength that I need
[02:22.86]And hope comes no matter how far down I sink
[02:28.61]The roots of my raising run deep.
[02:34.74]The roots of my raisin' run deep...
