Red Roots Grow
I’m just a girl in a big old world
And people keep telling me
You’ve gotta sew your wild oats
‘Fore you know what you really wanna be
I hear ‘em now, I hear ‘em loud
And I’m gonna drown ‘em out
Cause I wanna grow where the Good Lord planted me
and I won’t go nowhere unless I hear Him telling me to
leave
I think He might know what’s going on so I’ll just let
it be
I’m gonna grow where the Good Lord planted me
I’m just a girl in a big old world
Where people keep saying child
You can’t stay the same to play this game
You’re gonna have to change just to make it in this
life
I hear ‘em now, I hear ‘em loud
And I’m gonna drown ‘em out
Cause I wanna grow where the Good Lord planted me
I won’t go nowhere unless I hear Him telling me to
leave
I think He might know what’s going on so I’ll just let
it be
I’m gonna grow where the Good Lord planted me
I’ve been watered by His word
I’ve been nurtured by His hand
I’ve been sheltered by His wings
In this dry and thirsty land
I’ve been grounded in His love
I’ve been growing in His grace
I’ve been soaking up the light
light that’s shining from His face
Why would I go away
