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 shortime 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 talk in´ ´bout no roots in the land, Talkin´ ´bout no 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. To the place of my birth, back down to earth.
