Roots
When I saw you
I was sixteen
I was older and wiser it's hard to believe
What's your name boy?
Where'd you come from?
How come I haven't seen you in a while?
I just wanna tell you
I wanna build roots with you
To plant the seed and watch it grow
With you
And they'll turn to roots
Strong and healthy roots
With you
With you
Now I see you
Up in midtown
Feel the same way for many years it's hard to believe
Tell me your name boy
This where you come from?
I wanna see you around here for a while
I just wanna tell you
I wanna build roots with you
To plant the seed and watch it grow
With you
And they'll turn to roots
Strong and healthy roots
With you
With you
It's where our kids will cry
When they fall to the ground
For the first time
It's where I'll call my sisters
When I need to say hi
Hi
Hi
With you
I just wanna build roots
With you
I just wanna build roots
With you
I just wanna build roots
With you
With you
I was sixteen
I was older and wiser it's hard to believe
What's your name boy?
Where'd you come from?
How come I haven't seen you in a while?
I just wanna tell you
I wanna build roots with you
To plant the seed and watch it grow
With you
And they'll turn to roots
Strong and healthy roots
With you
With you
Now I see you
Up in midtown
Feel the same way for many years it's hard to believe
Tell me your name boy
This where you come from?
I wanna see you around here for a while
I just wanna tell you
I wanna build roots with you
To plant the seed and watch it grow
With you
And they'll turn to roots
Strong and healthy roots
With you
With you
It's where our kids will cry
When they fall to the ground
For the first time
It's where I'll call my sisters
When I need to say hi
Hi
Hi
With you
I just wanna build roots
With you
I just wanna build roots
With you
I just wanna build roots
With you
With you
