My Roots
by Todd Burge ©2005 Bunj Jam-BMI
8-24-2004 d-g-a-d7
Let me tell you about my family
And let me sing about its tree
How I've climbed up on the branches
How some have broken under me
But as my bottom hits the ground
I'll tell you what I always find

My roots have covered my backside
My roots have covered my backside

You know my mother had a mom
And my dad he had a dad
And if you listen to their stories
You’ll hear the good
You'll hear the sad
From the Seneca Rock
To the beginning of all time

My roots have covered my backside
My roots have covered my backside

So I’ve got to dig deep
To find out what is true
I need to know my yesterdays
So I can figure out what's new
Before the Blackwater River
Cut it's first jagged line

My roots have covered my backside
My roots have covered my backside

So, it's not a dirty story
But you’ve gotta dig it deep
It started with a single seed
That one that started you and me
It's sewn in every foreign land
And grows through every grain sand

My roots have covered my
Roots have covered my
roots have covered my backside
