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.
