Roots lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're the kid from down the street,
The one we used to greet,
& We're glad that it turned out good,
Were pleased that you done well,
But maybe you could tell,
Us in person like real friends should.
Because it doesn't take that much,
& You then you find your outta touch,
With the people you call friends,
So maybe now it's time,
You should drop them all a line,
Yeah it's time to make amends.
[Bridge]
You shouldn't take it for granted,
The roots that you've planted,
Will be fine,
You should make it a mission,
To go back & check from time to time.
[Chorus]
Break out, Play about,
But don't leave out,
People that you started it from.
Break out, Play about,
But don't leave out,
People where you started it from.
[Verse 2]
It didn't take that much,
To say you'd keep in touch,
But how many people do?
There the ones that got you there,
Doesn't mean you have to care,
I guess that is up to you.
They're the best days of your life,
The time you learn to run/ to write,
No money could buy you those,
So hold on to your past,
You've gotta make those friendships last,
Coz the good time comes & goes!
[Bridge]
[Chorus x 2]
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
Growin' up,
Getting old,
Don't wanna be,
Left in the cold.
A different place,
A newer face,
Conceal the past,
Without a trace.
It only takes,
A little while,
To call them up,
& Make 'em a smile!
[Bridge]
[Chorus x 2]
