Chorus: We've got the roots Music my rock In the storm that life blows It's the anchor that holds Play me some roots Music my rock In the storm that life blows It's the shelter I know Yeah

Chorus: Play I some roots, Music my rock In the storm that life blows It's the anchor that holds Play me some roots Music my rock In the storm that life blows It's the shelter I know Yeah
My only woman was a shadow and bone Come into my house Leave me alone But in the morning brick by brick I have grown And forget the court house Broke with the stones throw Yeah
Chorus: We've got the roots Music my rock In the storm that life blows It's the anchor that holds Play me some roots Music my rock In the storm that life blows It's the shelter I know Yeah
We've got the roots Music my rock In the storm that life blows It's the anchor that holds Play me some roots Music my rock In the storm that life blows It's the shelter I know Yeah
