Roots Lyrics

She climbs into her 2002 SUV

Only 5,000 kilometers left but it's all she needs

For the fourth time she's ready to leave the city

Heading out to find herself at age 23

First she went to Greece to smell the olive trees

Then to Thailand and to Mexico to be by the sea

Now a cross-continental drive will help she thinks

Help me find myself at age 23

Will you fly the whole world round?

Will you wear through the soles of your boots?

Never looking to find yourself by putting down roots

Through the rockies and the prairies she leaves no trace

Marvelling at the joy on each friendly face

Surely one of these fine towns must be the place

Where she shall come to know herself in time and space

Will you fly the whole world round?

Will you wear through the soles of your boots?

Never looking to find yourself by putting down roots

When finally she reaches the Atlantic shore

It feels so familiar has she been here before?

What if she can't find what she's looking for?

And what if she returns home unchanged once more?

Will you fly the whole world round?

Will you wear through the soles of your boots?

Never looking to find yourself

Always looking all by yourself

Never looking to find yourself by putting down roots
