Zippin' up my boots Goin' back to my roots Yeah Take the place of my birth Back down to earth I've been standin' in the rain Drenched and soaked with pain Tired of short time benefits And bein' exposed to the elements I'm homeward bound Got my head turned around Zippin' up my boots Goin' back to my roots Yeah To the place of my birth Back down to earth Ain't talkin' 'bout no roots in the land Talkin' 'bout the roots in the man I feel my spirit gettin' old It's time to recharge my soul I'm zippin' up my boots Goin' back to my roots Yeah To the place of my birth Back down to earth Zippin' up my boots Goin' back to my roots To the place of my birth Back down to earth
