Текст (слова) песни: Merle Haggard - The Roots Of My Raisin`
I left the four lane highway, took a blacktop seven miles Down by the old country school I went to as a child Three 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 rasin` 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
(spoken) I pulled into the driveway, Lord, it sure was good to be there and through the open door I could see that, Dad was asleep in his favorite chair. In his hand was a picture of Mom, and I remembered how close they were. So 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, who`s gentle voice was seldom heard Who could borrow money at the bank, simply on his word
The roots of my raisin` run deep I`ve 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 The roots of my raisin` run deep
