Zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots, yeah

To the place of my birth
Back down to earth

I've been standing in the rain
Drenched and soaked with pain

Tired of short term benefits
And being 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's 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
