Letra de Roots

I'm fearful of the future and I'm running from the past
Comfortable for right now but how long will it last
I'm fearful of the future and I'm running from the past
Comfortable for right now but how long will it last
Well I've been running so long and my legs are getting tired
I'm gonna stay for awhile warm myself by the fire
I'm gonna stay for awhile warm myself by the fire
Got to get my roots down
Got to get my roots down
Got to get 'em in before I up and leave this town
Got to get my roots down
They tell me keep on running, don't you stay in one place
Can't leave an honest man alone to dig his own grave
They tell me keep on running, don't you stay in one place
Can't leave an honest man alone to dig his own grave
Ignore all the voices, put em down in the dirt
They try to chase me away but I push until it hurts
They try to chase me away but I push until it hurts
Got to get my roots down
Got to get my roots down
Well I'm gonna dig a hole and anchor down my soul
Got to get my roots down
- Instrumental break -
Well I did what I wanted, now I'm standing tall
They tried telling me different and I defied 'em all
Lord I did what I wanted, now I'm standing tall
They tried telling me different and I defied 'em all
I've been taking my sweet time as I put 'em on down
When I build my castle I'm gonna wear the crown
Yeah build my castle and I'm gonna wear the crown
Until it all crumbles and I fall to the ground
Got to get my roots down
Got to get my roots down
Got to get 'em in before I up and leave this town
Got to get my roots down
Got to get my roots down
Got to get my roots down
Well I'm gonna dig a hole and anchor down my soul
Got to get my roots down
