Jill Johnson - Roots & wings lyrics

Her mum and dad grew up in this town Married after school and settled down Like most round here, bought a little ground And planted roots Her brother Mark works att daddy's store Sister Connie's wornin' on kid number four But Rose hut eighteen and hit "that" door And she flew She said I know they're thinkin' I'm just the wild thing Just cause you've got roots Doesn't mean you can't have wings Chorus: So she flies Soaring where she's never been Reaching out for a life Grabbin' all she can take in She flies like an eagle on the wind Just cause you've got roots Doesn't mean you can't have wings She moved to Dallas then Frisco Bay Spent a year in Denver, (and) wound up in L. A Where she met a guy who took her breath away And said I do! They had a daughter late next fall Took a trip back home to show her to mum Her mama said (baby) I've seen it all She act's just like you Rose - when she grows up Remember one thing Just cause she's got roots Doesn't mean she can't have wings Chorus Her mum and dad move to town In north L. A they settled down Like most round here, bought a little ground And planted roots
