Roots

Red light, nine in the A.M.

Horns are honkin', can't stand the heat

Tri-state, roadway headache

The rhythm of the city doesn't match my beat

East Side, West Side, don't you believe the hype

I no longer give a damn

Big town, uptight, small town, moonlight

I need to breathe, I need some air

I'm goin' back to the roots

Back to the beginning

Into the soil of that dirty groove

I'm gettin' down with Waylon Jennings

Where the grass is blue

Where the sky is the limit

Through Muddy Waters in muddy boots

I'm goin' back to the roots

Roots

Backroads, motor humming

Hey, mama, I'm comin' home

Front porch, guitar strummin'

Sippin' Blue Ribbon, chewin' chicken bone

Sun down, Friday night, have a few, feel all-right

It all rhymes with who I am

Old friends, cold gin, have a ball, mamas kin

Jammin' out with the band (Ooh, yeah, yeah)

I'm goin' back to the roots

Back to the beginning

Into the soil of that dirty groove

I'm gettin' down with Waylon Jennings

Where the grass is blue

Where the sky is the limit

Through Muddy Waters in muddy boots

I'm goin' back to the roots

I'm goin' back to the roots

Back to the beginning

Into the soil of that dirty groove

I'm gettin' down with Waylon Jennings

Where the grass is blue

Where the sky is the limit

Through Muddy Waters in muddy boots (Oh, muddy boots)

I'm goin' back to the roots (Goin' back, baby)

I'm goin' back to the roots

Back to the beginning (Where it all began, yeah)

Into the soil of that dirty groove

I'm gettin' down with Waylon Jennings

Where the grass is blue (Oh, yeah)

Where the sky is the limit (Yeah)

Through Muddy Waters in muddy boots (Through muddy waters)

I'm goin' back to the roots (Ooh, I'm goin' back to the roots)

Roots (Yeah, back to the roots)

Roots

Roots (Yeah)
