My roots, my roots Run deep into the hollow I'm stronger than I ever knew I'm strong because of you I bite down a little harder My blades a little sharper Strike back a little harder I scream a little louder I hit back a little louder

Don't go knockin' on my door Gotta stay away for sure You better get off my back You say you miss me like crazy now But I ain't buyin' that Don't go knock on my door I am better off without you Stronger than ever and I, I'm tellin' you now Don't go knock

Keeps Georgia on my mind Just an old sweet song Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you The whole day through I said now, Georgia

This time it's goodbye trouble I feel the light at the end of this tunnel I get stronger with every step Come Hell, come high water You push on me I'm going to push back harder I got a whole lot more than a little bit left Oh, don't put dirt on my grave

My people back home This is for my people back home We're lighting one up, feel the love We wouldn't be here without ya Mix it strong, pour it out no doubt We're always thinking about ya Ain't gonna let you down Just wanna make you proud

Homesick tired All alone in a big city Why should ev'rybody pity me, Nighttime's falling, folks are a singin', they dance till break of day Dear Old Southland with it's dreamy songs Takes me back there where I belong How I'd love to be in mammy's arms

I'll try to make it through without crying so nobody sees Yeah, she wanna get married I'll wear my black suit, black tie, hide out in the back I'll do a strong shot of whiskey straight out the flask But she don't wanna marry me She wants to get married,

But you can never ever take my place I stay strong whether right or I'm wrong Yeah.. yo.. c'mon Ride wit me, lemme take you somewhere My father was a soldier, my mother was a rider I was born wit my fists balled up, I'ma fighter Inspired, a real rhyme

What do they call me My skin is black My arms are long My hair is woolly My back is strong Strong enough to take the pain inflicted again and again My name is AUNT SARAH My name is Aunt Sarah

I was a strong man Come back and see what love did to me A raging flood I was a child Stalking a dream I was a blindfolded bumblebee My trail is blazing Smoke over head My trail is blazaing
