I stopped somewhere in Nashville New York, then L.A. I woke up without knowing why Somehow I’d lost my way There were no signs to guide me Only strangers who were kind They offered me directions To the dreams I’d left behind, left behind Today I’ve got no cares and woes I love the life I chose heaven knows I’m on my way and getting close To the roses growing To the rivers flowing Let my heart go where it’s going To the seasons turning To the home fires burning To my roots, to my roots To my roots, I am returning The city streets are hard Break down my walking boots It seems I’m always travelling home To get back to my roots Happiness seems like a place That’s always far away It’s like a prayer you know so well But you’ve forgotten how to pray, how to pray Today I’ve got no cares and woes… I love the life I chose heaven knows I’m on my way and getting close To the roses growing To the rivers flowing Let my heart go where it’s going To the seasons turning To the home fires burning To my roots, to my roots To my roots, I am returning A church bell rings out loud So loud it breaks the spell I look outside my window At a town that knows me well The dew is on the clover The morning sun is gold A blackbird calls out from the heath A song that’ll never grow old grow old…… (To my roots, to my roots) (To my roots, to my roots) (To my roots, to my roots) (To my roots, to my roots) To my roots,To my roots, to my roots, I am returning
