about

This is the title track to my album, which encompasses my early musical upbringing and sets the tone for the album. It has a nice Hank Williams Sr. type feel to it, who is one of my strongest influences. It was the last track that I wrote and probably one of my best, in my opinion.

lyrics

Some people livin' high on the hog
I live the simple life with no problems at all
These are my roots, these are my roots

The tracks were my friend
The old half tonne barely ran
I got six siblings gone
But I am not alone
These are my roots, I'm not alone, hey hey

Chorus:
My roots grow strong and deep
I can feel it in my feet
From my head to my toes
And the earth down below
These are my roots

Now some peeps have changed
And t'other way
I'm diggin my own trench
Gonna fight till I'm dead
These are my roots, I 'll move ahead

Repeat Chorus

Now don't think of me
Old fashioned and square
I want my 45's
And still know I can jive
These are my roots
I'm 45 and I can jive!

Repeat Chorus
