Roots and Wings

LETRA

Roots and Wings

I got red dirt stains
On my boots and jeans
Callused fingers
From my guitar strings
Wild like the wind
In the tall pine trees
I've got roots
And I got wings

I raise my glass
On a Saturday night
I thank the Lord above
On my Sunday drive
For daddy's hands
And momma's dreams
He gave me roots
She gave me wings

He said: "run on love
And run on life
And plant some seeds
Until you're tired
Don't take anything at all for granted"

She said: "raise your hands
And raise your babies
Be yourself
And never change it
Be everything you ever want to be"

He said: "run on love
And run on life
And plant some seeds
Until you're tired
Don't take anything at all for granted"

She said: "raise your hands
And raise your babies
Be yourself
And never change it
Be everything you ever want to be"

I saddle up
When I get down
Sing every night
In a different town
And I've got a man who wears my ring
And I got roots
And I got wings
Yeah I got roots
I got wings
