[Verse 1]
I'm still running thirty-threes up underneath this truck, even though
Rush hour concrete's the only place I'm getting stuck
Ain't on the farm no more but on a stretch of sunny days
I still catch myself looking up at the sky
Praying for a little rain
[Chorus]
No, I can't outrun these roots
Even if I wanted to
Cause they run too strong, run too deep
Cutting right through the heart of me
No, it don't matter where I plant these boots
I can't outrun these roots
I can't outrun these roots
[Verse 2]
There's still that back home part of me
That can't help but see things a little different
Like how there ain't no need
To put a 'G' on the end of huntin' or fishin'
And I still got granddaddy's bible, his old rifle, and his name
But I also got his "pour a little more"
Coursin' through my veins
[Chorus]
No, I can't outrun these roots
Even if I wanted to
Cause they run too strong, run too deep
Cutting right through the heart of me
No, it don't matter where I plant these boots
I can't outrun these roots
[Bridge]
Thank God I can't
They're tangled up in every part of who I am
Without 'em I know I don't stand a chance
I can't outrun these roots
I can't outrun these roots
[Chorus]
Cause they run too strong, run too deep
Cutting right through the heart of me
No, it don't matter where I plant these boots
I can't outrun these roots
I can't outrun these roots
I'm still running thirty-threes up underneath this truck, even though
Rush hour concrete's the only place I'm getting stuck
Ain't on the farm no more but on a stretch of sunny days
I still catch myself looking up at the sky
Praying for a little rain
[Chorus]
No, I can't outrun these roots
Even if I wanted to
Cause they run too strong, run too deep
Cutting right through the heart of me
No, it don't matter where I plant these boots
I can't outrun these roots
I can't outrun these roots
[Verse 2]
There's still that back home part of me
That can't help but see things a little different
Like how there ain't no need
To put a 'G' on the end of huntin' or fishin'
And I still got granddaddy's bible, his old rifle, and his name
But I also got his "pour a little more"
Coursin' through my veins
[Chorus]
No, I can't outrun these roots
Even if I wanted to
Cause they run too strong, run too deep
Cutting right through the heart of me
No, it don't matter where I plant these boots
I can't outrun these roots
[Bridge]
Thank God I can't
They're tangled up in every part of who I am
Without 'em I know I don't stand a chance
I can't outrun these roots
I can't outrun these roots
[Chorus]
Cause they run too strong, run too deep
Cutting right through the heart of me
No, it don't matter where I plant these boots
I can't outrun these roots
I can't outrun these roots
