Zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth
Not talkin' 'bout the roots in the land
I'm talkin' 'bout the roots in the man
Zippin' up my boots, goin' back to my roots
I'm homeward bound, got my head turned around
Goin' back to find myself
I can't live with nobody else
Who's living in the world and not be seen
Goin' back, goin' back right there an' be me
Not searchin' for riches I've had all the time
Finding out happiness is just a state of mind
Just a state of mind
Zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth
Not talkin' 'bout the roots in the land
I'm talkin' 'bout the roots in the man
Zippin' up the boots, getting back to the roots
I'm homeward bound, got my head turned around, oh oh oh
Going home, I'm going home
Going home, going home where I do belong
Not found the riches that I've got the time
Finding out happiness is just a state of mind
Just a state of mind, just a state of mind
Just a state of mind, yeah
Zippin' up the boots, goin' back to the roots
To the place of my birth, get on down to the earth
It's not black, it's not white
It's not red, it's not yellow
It's not black, it's not white
It's not red, it's not yellow
It's not black, it's not white
It's not red, it's not yellow
It's down to earth, it's down to earth
It's down to earth, it's down to earth
It's not red, it's not white
It's not yellow, it's not black
It's not red, it's not white
It's not yellow, ït's not black....
