Roots of My Raisin’ lyrics

[Verse 1]
To be running' wild
Like a child with a smile on his face
Roamin free, climbing' trees
Let the breeze take me away

[Chorus]
Take me back to the roots of my raisin'
Back to a time before all my time was taken

[Verse 2]
Jumpin' logs, pettin' dogs
And catching frogs down at the creek
Skipping stones, singing songs
Dad and Mom, you're everything to me

[Chorus]
Take me back to the roots of my raisin'
Back to a time before all my time was taken

[Chorus]
Take me back to the roots of my raisin'
Back to a time before all my time was taken

[Outro]
Flying kites, riding bikes
And not thinking twice bout' my checkin' in
But the day is done, what's to come?
Ain't near as fun as where you been
