๐ Lyrics
Well, I can do funk, and I can do blues
But one thing I haven't done is gone back to my roots
Well, I'm a good ol' Southern Georgia boy
And I got nothing left to lose
So for this song, I'm goin' back to my roots
When I turned ten, my mama gave me a beer
She said, "In my book, if you're double digits, you're in the clear"
Well, I took that triple IPA, and I went on my merry way
And I drove my daddy's pickup off the pier
When I was eight
I killed my first deer
Well, I aimed that RPG and she just disappeared
Well, at least I didn't miss her
Like some useless city slicker
I blasted that skinny doe into next year
When I was six, I went to prison
My kindergarten teacher, she just wouldn't listen
I said, "I'll eat the crayons if I want to"
But she yelled at me as I had a mouth of baby blue
She hurt my feelings, so she went missing
When I was four, I fell in love with a lady
She was the prettiest cousin I had, can you blame me?
But she ran off with another boy
She said, "He had so much better toys"
Broke my heart the day our grandma turned 30
When I was two, I was smoking Newports
I was the coolest kid around with my shades and jean shorts
I had a pocket full of Skoal, and a diaper of liquid gold
Drunk off my sippy cup full of Jack and Coke
Well, I can do funk, and I've done blues
But one thing I haven't done is gone back to my roots
'Cause I'm a good ol' Southern Georgia boy
And I got nothing left to lose
So for this song, I'm goin' back to my roots
So for this song, you've heard all about my roots
But one thing I haven't done is gone back to my roots
Well, I'm a good ol' Southern Georgia boy
And I got nothing left to lose
So for this song, I'm goin' back to my roots
When I turned ten, my mama gave me a beer
She said, "In my book, if you're double digits, you're in the clear"
Well, I took that triple IPA, and I went on my merry way
And I drove my daddy's pickup off the pier
When I was eight
I killed my first deer
Well, I aimed that RPG and she just disappeared
Well, at least I didn't miss her
Like some useless city slicker
I blasted that skinny doe into next year
When I was six, I went to prison
My kindergarten teacher, she just wouldn't listen
I said, "I'll eat the crayons if I want to"
But she yelled at me as I had a mouth of baby blue
She hurt my feelings, so she went missing
When I was four, I fell in love with a lady

But one thing I haven't done is gone back to my roots
'Cause I'm a good ol' Southern Georgia boy
And I got nothing left to lose
So for this song, I'm goin' back to my roots
So for this song, you've heard all about my roots
