[Verse 1]
There's a gravel road that leads me home,
Past fields of corn, and a creek I've known.
The sun dips low, paints the sky in red,
I hear my mama’s voice in the words she said.
[Prechorus]
“Never forget who helped you stand,
Remember your roots, and lend your hand.”
[Chorus]
I’m giving thanks to the ones who stayed,
Who lit my path when the nights betrayed.
To the hands that lifted, the hearts that cared,
I owe them all, and I’ll always share.
I won't forget where I come from,
My roots run deep, my work's not done.
[Verse 2]
There’s a neighbor’s barn where I swung my first nail,
And a preacher’s prayer that kept me from jail.
A coach who taught me more than the game,
And a small-town girl who still wears my name.
[Prechorus]
“Hold onto the ones who’ve held you tight,
Give back the love that gave you light.”
[Chorus]
I’m giving thanks to the ones who stayed,
Who lit my path when the nights betrayed.
To the hands that lifted, the hearts that cared,
I owe them all, and I’ll always share.
I won't forget where I come from,
My roots run deep, my work's not done.
