Boots on the Tall Grass Ground

Morning's up too From deep inside Plowing through the rose Till the evening falls Build these calloused hands, mama smile Waiting at the supper table Stories round the fire Hands, mama smile Waiting at the supper table Stories round the fire Hearts and brains This is where my heart Still beats The strongest roots Run deep In this good earth soul Family tied And time can't loosen Simple joys Simple joys Make my spirit boil Oh, where the low Fade country rolls Lead me back to stay City lights call But they couldn't hold Now I'm breathing free In the stories told Hard days shake me But they set me On the road To the future And I'm breathing free In the stories told But they set me And I'm breathing free In the dead of night This is where my heart Still beats The strongest roots Run deep In this good earth soul Family tied The time can't loosen Simple joys Simple joys Make my spirit boil Oh, where the low Fade country rules Lead me back to stay Where my heart Will always be Oh, where the low And time can't loosen And time can't loosen Simple joys And time can't loosen Simple joys Family tied And time can't loosen Simple joys Family tied Family tied Simple joys Simple joys
