From the recording That's How We Roll 'Round Here
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We tend to do things a little diff'rent round these parts,
Smile at a stranger, mow an elderly neighbor's yard.
Congregate for juicy gossip at the Piggly Wiggly store,
Volunteer at the fire station, bow our heads on Sunday morn.
[Chorus 1]
‘Round here folks work hard and ain’t afraid to pray,
Raise their kids to thank the Lord each day.
Hold each other up when things get tough,
Form lifelong bonds rooted in love.
Gather at grandma’s for a Sunday feast,
Fried chicken, cream potatoes, and sweet southern tea.
Through the joy, through the pain, through the laughter and tears,
Yeah, that’s how we roll ‘round here.
[Verse 2]
When ol’ coach Walker lost his Bessy Mae after fifty years,
We helped him celebrate her life, helped him make it through the tears.
And when Miss Myrtle couldn’t keep the farm up anymore,
We all showed up with our tractors and pickups at her front door.
Yeah, when folks are in need, we don’t run away,
We all pitch in, we’re just built that way.
[Chorus 2]
‘Round here folks work hard and ain’t afraid to pray,
Raise their kids to thank the Lord each day.
Hold each other up when things get tough,
Form lifelong bonds rooted in love.
Gather at grandma’s for a Sunday feast,
Fried chicken, cream potatoes, and sweet southern tea.
Through the joy, through the pain, through the laughter and tears,
Yeah, that’s how we roll ‘round here.
[Bridge]
Bowling league, bingo nights,
High school football under stadium lights.
Barbeque cookouts and ice-cold Bud,
Yeah, this is how we roll with the folks we love.
[Chorus 3]
‘Round here folks work hard and ain’t afraid to pray,
Raise their kids to thank the Lord each day.
Hold each other up when things get tough,
Form lifelong bonds rooted in love.
Gather at grandma’s for a Sunday feast,
Fried chicken, cream potatoes, and sweet southern tea.
Through the joy, through the pain, through the laughter and tears,
Yeah, that’s how we roll…Ooh that’s how we roll…
Mmmm, that’s how we roll ‘round here.
