Lyrics

Back to my Roots
By Lisa Yves

I was born in the city with a song in my soul,
Then somewhere along the way of growing up
I spun out of control
Now I look back at pictures of my past like a movie in my mind
And I can't believe, I can't believe what I left behind

All my friends and my family couldn't figure me out
They just shook their heads and walked away
They didn't know what I was about
Always wanted to be special, tried sp hard as I grew
But I became like everybody else
Gotta get back to my roots

CHORUS

Get back to my roots
Where they love me for who I am
Get back to my roots
Where it comes down to just a woman and a man
All I want is to love and be loved
And stop walking in some other boots
Gotta get back, get back
Get back to my roots


Life is hard in the city when you're trying to survive
Just when you think you're going somewhere that's when
You get eaten alive
Coming back isn't easy
I try to listen to my cues
So I can find the joy within
Gotta get back to my roots.

CHORUS
