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.
