[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
