Lyrics
Just a young kid
From a place nobody's heard of
Out in the country
Where you get what you deserve
And it's a long road
When you grow up in the valley
Of the kings chasing California dreams
Driving coast to coast
In rain and through the snow
After the ghost of a dream
Living life mostly
Trying to survive
The thing that kept me being me
Was them roots
Yeah they grow a long way down, woah
Them roots, roots
Yeah they grow a long way down
Ya la la la
Ya la la la
Ya la la la
Ya la la la
From a country boy
To the city
Never knew that the road was such a heartbreak
So many nights under the spotlight
Singing the songs that make you feel right
And when it comes onto me heavy
I'll take a look all around
Now I'm ready
To give you the sound
To spread it around
To town to town
Oh what a feeling
To be giving them all the roots, woah yeah now
Roots
Yeah they grow a long way down
Them roots
Yeah they grow a long way down, woah
Them roots roots
Yeah they grow a long way down
Them roots roots
Yeah they grow a long way down
Yeah down, down, down
And we're still on that journey
Through the blood and sweat
It's a never-changing destination
And no, we're not there yet
KOA up to Santa Barbara
Florida, and in Colorado
Plant the seed
And we watch it grow
Feel the love everywhere we go
Roots
Yeah they grow a long way down, woah
Them roots
Yeah they grow a long way down, woah
Them roots roots
Yeah they grow a long way down, woah
Them roots roots
Yeah they grow a long way down
Ya la la la
Ya la la la
Ya la la la
Ya la la la
