dragging these roots - jelly roll lyrics
[verse 1]
grew up on a creek bank, listenin’ to some old hank
breathin’ in the smoke of a paper mill town
just hangin’ and bangin’ around (just bangin’ around)
yeah, it’s hard to make a green dollar in a dried*up holler
even when you leave, no, you never get out
the further i got, the more i found (i found)
[chorus]
draggin’ these roots like a bag of bones
i guess where i’m from won’t let me go
a hickory heart and a moonshine soul
a little more grit than a gravel road
you can cover ’em up, shake off the dust
but you’re never gonna cut ’em loose
yeah, i got where i got, and i get where i’m goin’ to
just draggin’ these roots
[verse 2]
yeah, i learned how to hustle watchin’ daddy bust, yeah
workin’ on the cars and the weeds in the yard
i guess the apple didn’t fall that far (didn’t fall that far)
yeah, you can bring a shovel, but it ain’t worth the trouble
can’t dig up what’s in your heart
wherever you go, there you are
[chorus]
draggin’ these roots like a bag of bones
i guess where i’m from won’t let me go
a hickory heart and a moonshine soul
a little more grit than a gravel road
you can cover ’em up, shake off the dust
but you’re never gonna cut ’em loose
yeah, i got where i got, and i get where i’m goin’ to
just draggin’ these roots
yeah, i’m draggin’ these roots
[bridge]
like a bag of bones
no, it won’t let me go
grew up on a creek bank, listenin’ to some old hank
breathin’ in the smoke of a paper mill town
hard to make a green dollar in a dried up holler
even when you leave, you never get out (you never get out)
you never get out
[chorus]
draggin’ these roots like a bag of bones
i guess where i’m from won’t let me go
a hickory heart and a moonshine soul
a little more grit than a gravel road (gravel road)
you can cover ’em up, shake off the dust
but you’re never gonna cut ’em loose
yeah, i got where i got, and i get where i’m goin’ to
just draggin’ these roots
i’m draggin’ these roots with me
