Puttin' New Roots Down Songtext
von Shenandoah

Oh-ooh, I′ve been called a rambler
I've been called a rogue
A lonesome highway traveler
Always on the road

I′ve felt the sting of the winter wind
Turned my collar to the cold
And I've waded in warm waters
On the Gulf of Mexico

I've always liked my freedom of being on my own
I′d love ′em, and I'd leave ′em, but then you came along
You've changed my way of thinking
You turned me right around
Now my mind′s on you, baby
And I'm puttin′ new roots down


I'm puttin' new roots down
Deep down in the ground
I wanna raise some kids instead of raising cane
When you tell me that you love me, I like the way it sounds
You′re the reason why I′m puttin' new roots down

Oh-ooh, some say I′m a drifter
Say I'm a rolling stone
But now that I′m called daddy, I've lost my urge to roam

I′d have to say it makes my day
When we lay down at night
When you wrap both arms around me
You keep me satisfied

I'm puttin' new roots down
Deep down in the ground
Raise a kid instead of raising cane
When you tell me that you love me
I like the way it sounds
You′re the reason why I′m puttin' new roots down
You′re the reason why I'm puttin′ new roots down
