I got red dirt stains

On my boots and jeans

Calloused fingers

From my guitar strings

Wild like the wind

In the tall pine trees

I got roots

And I got wings.

I raise my glass

On a saturday night

I thank the lord above

On my sunday drive

For daddy's hands

And mama's dreams

He gave me roots

She gave me wings.

He said run on love

And run on life

And plant some seeds

Until you're tired

Don't take anything at all for granted.

She said raise your hands

And raise your babies

Be yourself

And never change it

Be everything you ever wanna be.

He said run on love

And run on life

And plant some seeds

And take your time

Don't take anything at all for granted.

She said raise your hands

And raise your babies

Be yourself

And never change it

Be everything you ever wanna be.

I saddle up

When I get down

Sing every night

In a different town

And I've got a man who wears my ring

And I got roots

And I got wings

Yeah I got roots

I got wings.
