Roots in the Sand Lyrics

I used to think roots were a house on a hill

A fence by a porch and a world standing still

But the highway called me with dust on the breeze

So I chased down the sunset with no guarantees

Now I've got roots in the sand where the winds have blown

In every town that I've come to call home

Pieces of me scattered over this land

I've left roots in the sand everywhere that I stand

I've carved out my name on old wooden bars

Stayed long enough to collect a few scars

Every road took a little gave a little back

Now I'm bound to this earth by invisible tracks

I've got roots in the sand where the winds have blown

In every town that I've come to call home

Pieces of me scattered over this land

I've left roots in the sand everywhere that I stand

I learned that home's not bricks or stone

It's the stories we carry the seeds we've sown

From desert skies to riverside nights

My roots run deep no matter the miles

Maybe I'll never stay in one place too long

But my heart's got its anchors where memories belong

And if I find myself on that road again

I'll keep laying down roots like lines in the sand

I've got roots in the sand where the winds have blown

In every town that I've come to call home

Pieces of me scattered over this land

I've left roots in the sand everywhere that I stand

Yeah I've left roots in the sand wherever I roam

With each mile I've grown a new kind of home

Not tied to a place but the life that I've planned

I'm bound by these roots though they're laid in the sand
