From The Ground Up Lyrics - Ryan Stevenson

It's been a long time coming, but I'm going back to my roots 

Born and raised in southern Oregon, dirt poor with nothing to lose 

I learned about faith and working hard 

It saved my life, that dairy farm 

Now everywhere I go, I take you with me in my heart, oh 

I grew up in a place nobody ever heard of 

We didn't have much, but we always had each other 

My roots run deep, and nothing's gonna change me 

Bonanza, you're in my blood 

This town built me from the ground up, oooh 

Built me from the ground up, oooh 

I learned to drive at 11, out by the sugar beets 

My daddy's 69 brown GMC, stick shift with a bench seat 

Hotel California, stuck in the tape deck on repeat 

Now everywhere I go, I take you there with me, because I 

grew up in a place nobody ever heard of 

We didn't have much, but we always had each other 

My roots run deep, and nothing's gonna change me 

Bonanza, you're in my blood 

This town built me from the ground up, oooh 

Built me from the ground up, oooh 

There's a little cemetery down off o' main street 

That's where my momma's buried; that's where I left a big part of me 

Sometimes I get a little choked up, when I think about the past (past) 

All my friends that have come and gone, but memories that always last 

(Whoa) Yeah, but memories that always last (whoa) 

Yeah, but memories that always last (whoa) 

Bo town, I think about you when I'm lookin' back 

My roots run deep, and I will never be ashamed of that, whoa 

I grew up in a place nobody ever heard of 

We didn't have much, but we always had each other 

My roots run deep, and nothing's gonna change me 

Bonanza, you're in my blood 

This town built me from the ground up, oooh (built me, built me) 

Built me from the ground up, oooh (built me, built me) 

(built me, Bonanza built me) 

Bonanza, you're in my blood 

Bonanza, you're in my blood
