Back to My Roots Songtext
von Jay Smith

Been hiding in blind sight
A ghost in the bar light
Heavy hearted with regret
This life, it taught me step by step
Be good with the bad lies
And bad with the goodbyes
Slowly waking from the dead
Now there′s a new road just ahead

And I've learnt ′bout luck, and a lot about love
And how to pick up the pieces
It's been tough, but if I got us
I ain't gonna break that easy


Oh, I′ve taken so many turns
Been lonely out in the dark
Now I′m heading back to the start
I'm back to my roots now, baby
Oh, you think that I′ll crash and burn
But I'm lucky, I fell apart
Got a fire and a country heart
I′m back to my roots now, baby

A song for the broken and forgotten
Here's to all you walking dead
And I′m here to hold your heavy heads

And I've learnt 'bout luck, and a lot about love
And how to pick up the pieces
It′s been tough, but if I got us
I ain′t gonna break that easy

Oh, I've taken so many turns
Been lonely out in the dark
Now I′m heading back to the start
I'm back to my roots now, baby
Oh, you think that I′ll crash and burn
But I'm lucky, I fell apart
Got a fire and a country heart
I′m back to my roots now, baby


I'm back playing with fire
Thanks for all that I've learnt
This time I′ll reach higher
Spite the bridges I′ve burnt
I'm back playing with fire
Ain′t afraid to get burnt
I ain't gonna break that easy

Oh, I′ve taken so many turns
Been lonely out in the dark
Now I'm heading back to the start
I′m back to my roots now, baby
Oh, you think that I'll crash and burn?
But I'm lucky, I fell apart
Got a fire and a country heart

I′m back to my roots now, baby (I′m back to my roots now)
Back to my roots now, baby (I'm back to my roots now)
I′m back to my roots now, baby (I'm back to my roots now)
(I′m back to my roots now) I'm back to my rootѕ now, bаby
