Roots - Jam in the Van, The Brothers Comatose, Jam in the Van, The Brothers Comatose

I’m fearful of the future and I’m running from the past

Comfortable for right now but how long will it last

I’m fearful of the future and I’m running from the past

Comfortable for right now but how long will it last

Well I’ve been running so long and my legs are getting tired

I’m gonna stay for awhile warm myself by the fire

I’m gonna stay for awhile warm myself by the fire

Got to get my roots down

Got to get my roots down

Got to get 'em in before I up and leave this town

Got to get my roots down

They tell me keep on running, don’t you stay in one place

Can’t leave an honest man alone to dig his own grave

They tell me keep on running, don’t you stay in one place

Can’t leave an honest man alone to dig his own grave

Ignore all the voices, put em down in the dirt

They try to chase me away but I push until it hurts

They try to chase me away but I push until it hurts

Got to get my roots down

Got to get my roots down

Well I’m gonna dig a hole and anchor down my soul

Got to get my roots down

Well I did what I wanted, now I’m standing tall

They tried telling me different and I defied 'em all

Lord I did what I wanted, now I’m standing tall

They tried telling me different and I defied 'em all

I’ve been taking my sweet time as I put 'em on down

When I build my castle I’m gonna wear the crown

Yeah build my castle and I’m gonna wear the crown

Until it all crumbles and I fall to the ground

Got to get my roots down

Got to get my roots down

Got to get 'em in before I up and leave this town

Got to get my roots down

Got to get my roots down

Got to get my roots down

Well I’m gonna dig a hole and anchor down my soul

Got to get my roots down
