Ash mo re, ash mo re
ash mo re, ash mo re

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

I'm 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

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

I'm zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots, yeah
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth

I'm homeward bound
Got my head turned around

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

Paua oouaaranc
Ir chiyeah
Ish gal ma ba oo ah
Paua oouaaranc
Ir chiyeah
Ish gal ma ba oo ah

Paua oouaaranc
Ir chiyeah
Ish gal ma ba oo ah
Paua oouaaranc
Ir chiyeah
Ish gal ma ba oo ah

Zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots, yeah
[end]
