Lyrics of Going Back To My Roots by Odyssey
intro
Zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots, yeah
To the place of my birth back down to earth
I've been standing in the rain drenched and soaked with pain
Tired of short time benefits and being exposed to the elements
I'm homeward bound got my head turned around
chorus
Ooh, ah
Zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots, yeah
To the place of my birth back down to earth
Ain't talkin' 'bout no roots in the land
Talkin' 'bout the roots in the man
I feel my spirit's gettin' old
It's time to recharge my soul
chorus
I'm zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots, yeah
To the place of my birth back down to earth

Zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots, yeah
To the place of my birth back down to earth
Zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots, yeah
To the place of my birth back down to earth
outro
Zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots, yeah
To the place of my birth back down to earth
