(hummmmm) You packed your bags for city life
You said the soil was dry and cold
But there's a promise in this black dirt
More precious than a chest of gold
So take the keys and walk the rows
Let the old roots hold you tight
This land was built on hope,
my girl
To carry you into the light
I watched you stand beside the barn
And almost leave it all behind
But grandma knew your stubborn heart
Would find the truth you came to find
So take the keys and walk the rows
Let the old roots hold you tight
This land was built on hope,
my girl
To carry you into the light (ohhh,
into the light) She left
it all for you (hummmmm)
