Dirt Road - My Roots

I've been lost from time to time
Been down roads with no signs
So often I forgot who I was
I completely missed it and got it twisted
Looking for something in the distance
And the further along I go
The closer I get to home
Where I learned...

You can't be a warrior without a war
And don't blame other for your faults
And you can't truly stand without some falls
You gotta give it your all
And that King James Bible on the coffee table
Taught me that the Lord is willing and able
And mom and dads roof came with mom and dads' laws
And breaking the Golden Rule brought some backside proof
And God knows that that's the honest truth
Cause these are my roots (Ol yeah)
These are my roots (Ol yeah)

I've been bent to the point of breaking
Caught up in my own mistakes when
I thought I knew more than I did
And I've been captured and so enamored
By the things that didn't matter
And it took me from the place that I belong
Where I learned...

Now I've got two of my own
Trying to teach them right from wrong
So when they find themselves far away from home
They'll still know...

You can't be a warrior without a war
And don't blame other for your faults
And you can't truly stand without some falls
You gotta give it your all
And that King James Bible on the coffee table
Taught me that the Lord is willing and able
And mom and dads roof came with mom and dads' laws
And breaking the Golden Rule brought some backside proof
And God knows that that's the honest truth
Cause these are my roots (Ol yeah)
These are my roots (Ol yeah)
