Family Tree

My roots run true and deep on my family tree If I tried branchin’ out – it wouldn't be me Got my grandpa’s hair my daddy’s good heart Both their stubborn streaks and momma’s smarts Yeah my roots run true and deep on my family tree I go with the flow till the flow don’t wanna last I start too slow and get to the end too fast I’m hopeless romantic like my uncle Joe I keep carryin’ on when it’s time to let go I go with the flow till the flow don’t wanna last I’m not much on stickin’ to plans I roll with the dice and I land where I land You could say the apple doesn’t fall far from the limb Cause if you met my pops I’ll remind you of him If home is where the heart is I’m where I’m where I’m s’posed to be Yeah my roots run true and deep on my family tree I’m big on tradition - and short on reasons to leave Take me as I am - or let me be, let me be I’m not much on stickin’ to plans I roll with the dice and I land where I land You could say the apple doesn’t fall far from the limb Cause if you met my pops I’ll remind you of him If home is where the heart is I’m where I’m where I’m s’posed to be Yeah my roots run true and deep on my family tree
