Bought a one way Tried my luck in LA But it never felt like home I miss those rivers and dirt roads Everyone who knows me Knows I'm a little more country Than a five ride county fair Than a cornfield out in the middle of nowhere Can't judge a book by it's cover Some hoods you gotta look under You never know what you're gonna find 'Cause I'm a yes sir no ma'am Work with my hands Take this shirt right off my back man Give it to you if you need it more than me Mama raised me right so you better believe These red clay roots run in my veins I might have moved but that don't change The fact that I grew up in a small town Where we say bless your heart And y'all come back now On the outside Looks like I'm having a good time But all I think about is home It's in my blood, it's in my bones and that's why Can't judge a book by it's cover Some hoods you gotta look under (oh, oh) You never know what you're gonna find (gonna find, yeah) 'Cause I'm a yes sir no ma'am Work with my hands Take this shirt right off my back man Give it to you if you need it more than me Mama raised me right so you better believe (better believe) These red clay roots run in my veins I might have moved but that don't change The fact that I grew up in a small town Where we say bless your heart And y'all come back now (oh) And y'all come back now (oh) And y'all come back now Can't judge a book by it's cover Some hoods you gotta look under You never know what you're gonna find (gonna find, yeah) 'Cause I'm a yes sir no ma'am Work with my hands Take this shirt right off my back man Give it to you if you need it more than me Mama raised me right so you better believe These red clay roots run in my veins I might have moved but that don't change The fact that I grew up in a small town Where we say bless your heart And y'all come back now (hey) Y'all come back now Y'all come back now
