Puttin' Out Roots - Peter Allen

Big city you’ve always been a friend to me

And boy we had fun

But sometimes the good times turn to memory

It’s all been done

So don’t you tempt me to stay

My future lies the opposite way

And going back to the farm

Never did anyone any harm

I want to grow things up to the sky

I want to grow wings and learn how to fly

To all the no things I’m saying goodbye

Feel like puttin' out roots again

The season for planting love is here again

It’s filling me up

And I got some solid soil in you my friend

Won’t waste a drop

With someone who really loves me

Living together by the shining sea

Going into the water

Makes your body feel just like it ought a

I wanna grow things up to the sky

I wanna grow wings and learn how to fly

To all the nothings I’m saying goodbye

Feel like puttin' out roots again

I want to see life like it’s meant to be seen

I want the green life my colour is green

And for the free life I’d give up where I’ve been

Feel like putting out roots again

Please forward my mail

I’ve got to leave while the wind’s still in my sail

I want to see life like it’s meant to be seen

I want the green life my colour is green

And for the free life I’d give up where I’ve been

Feel like putting out roots again

I wanna grow things up to the sky

I wanna grow wings and learn how to fly

To all the nothings I’m saying goodbye

Feel like puttin' out roots again
