High and Mighty Lyrics

A G E G Repeat 4x
oh oh oh uhhhhhh
The roots grow down to the river, seed from long ago.
And when I say from long ago, I mean from ever so long ago.
Yo
Roots grow down to the river, they go to bank a sideways tree.
Big old witness to the Civil War, getting ready to float down stream.
But that's right, ready to float down stream.
Not tonight, hanging on to the dream.
You say, don't ya come at me like your all high and mighty.
A G D G G# A (walk it up)
I say, mighty, no, but defiantly high.
You say, we should, pack and move away from this place.
A G D G G# A (walk it up)
I say, let me, uncork another bottle of wine.
A G E G Repeat 4x
oh oh oh uhhhhhh
Roots grow down to the river, where your grandmamma said don't go.
She said, "You might fall in the water, and get sucked in the undertow."
No
Roots grow down to the river, so quite you can hear that snake cough.
Then your granddaddy picked it up and cracked it like a whip, snapped it's head clean off.
But that's right, ready to float down stream.
Not tonight, hanging on to the dream.
You say, don't ya come at me like your all high and mighty.
A G D G G# A (walk it up)
I say, mighty, no, but defiantly high.
You say, we should, pack and move away from this place.
A G D G G# A (walk it up)
I say, let me, uncork another bottle of wine.
(Instrumental I can not do...and prefer to listen to Keller do instead)
But that's right, ready to float down stream.
Not tonight, hanging on to the dream.
Roots grow down to the river, and right under this here house.
And the one next door and the one down the road and the one that's goanna be knocked down.
Roots grow down to the river, they go to bank a sideways tree
Big old witness to the Civil War, getting ready to float down stream.
But that's right, ready to float down stream.
Not tonight, hanging on to the dream.
You say, don't ya come at me like your all high and mighty.
A G D G G# A (walk it up)
I say, mighty, no, but defiantly high.
You say, we should, pack and move away from this place.
A G D G G# A (walk it up)
I say, let me, uncork another bottle of wine.
A G E G Repeat 4x
oh oh oh uhhhhhh
