Lyrics
Anymore in this day and time
this world' is goin' crazy
some's too sorry to even care
and the others are just plain lazy
This old world just keeps spinning around
for the love of the almighty dollar
No matter what may change,
I'll stay the same and uphold my family honor
CHORUS
Stickin' to my roots
Stickin' to my roots
No matter what may change
There's redneck blood running thru this hillbilly
and it will to my dying day
Stickin' to my roots
I came from the country
and I'm proud of my country ways
My daddy raised me by the seat of my pants
and my mamma raised me to pry
I don't have no plans to change
my old fashioned point of view
You can bust your sag or dress in drag
I'm stickin' to my roots
CHORUS
I've been taught to walk the line
and work for an honest pay
There's some out there that don't even care
they want'n hand outs everyday
Just when you think you've got me down
with no room to move
I'll hold my head up high and stand tall and proud
here in my cowboys boots
Stickin' to my roots
Granddaddy plowed a land of cotton
He is gone but not forgotten
Called us hicks way back in the sticks
Would have it n'other way
Lord, I'm stickin' to my roots
yea, Oh Lord, Lord , Stickin' to my roots
Lord, I'm Sticking to my roots
