We were just two sparrows in a hurricane Guitars were steel And I still feel Every crying note they sing standing in that Opry ring Oh those roots run deep In the country before me Guitars were steel And I still feel Every crying note they sing standing in that Opry ring Guitars were steel And I still feel Every crying note they sing standing in that Opry ring Oh those roots run deep Oh those roots they run deep
