(mmmm-hmm) Red dirt on my bare feet,
front porch in the afternoon
Listening to the cicadas hum their dusty summer tune
Daddy had a tractor that he taught me how to drive
Down in Georgia, that's where I felt alive
Oh, the sweet tea's cold but the nights are warm
Safe in the shelter of a summer storm These deep southern roots
run down in the clay No matter where I go,
they won't fade away
Sundays at the chapel,
sweet potato pie
Watching sunset painters painting up the sky
Simple things we gathered,
lessons that we learned
Every single page of that old book we turned
Deep roots
in the clay
(fade away) Never gonna
fade
away
