These golden sunsets sinkin′ down in hunter green

On the edge of the country scene

Those lights are too bright down there manFor a good old boy like me

So when the ragin' river hits and the current′s too strong

I'll be driftin', livin′ out my songs

Where the world has life and the dogs run wild

And the chickens still crow and the clay still flies

With a porch still crowded with my day one friends

And my brothers drive any truck I got out here

So before you think you know mine and me

Whoa-whoa-oh-oh just know I′m the soul of old country

And all our roots run deep

Roots run deep

Roots run deep

In the country

Roots run deep

Baptist church raised, parkin' lot blazed

Smoked ham on the table after hearin′ preacher man preach

Shirts untucked, dress shoes kicked off

Tan lines, tailgates, hell raisin' exhaust

Through the fog, cab lights on, southern dog, get her home

′Cause her daddy's kinda crazy, owns a tractor and a farm

So when the ragin′ river hits and the current's too strong

I'll be driftin′ in the moonlight, still livin′ out my songs

Where the world has life and the dogs run wild

And the chickens still crow and the clay still flies

With a porch still crowded with my day one friends

And my brothers drive any truck I got out here

So before you think you know mine and me

Whoa-whoa-oh-oh just know I'm the soul of old country

And all our roots run deep

Roots run deep

All our roots run deep

Mmhmm

All our roots run deep

Whoa-oh

All our roots run deep

Yeah-yeah-yeah

All our roots run deep
