Sailing on not too far 'til I get there All I own wrapped up tight in a sweat shirt Ain't no hurry been away too long To keep on worrying where I come from Rest my boots where I feel I should belong Don't hold on to me We're one my song and me Boots and roots, there's so much I've got to see Boots and roots, there's so much I want to see (REPEAT FIRST VERSE) Sun don't shine, geese start flying for the winter I can wait, don't migrate for the weather I up and run if it turns me on For no more reason than the tide rolls on Hold my roots when I feel I should be gone So don't hold to me We're one the tide and me Boots and roots, there's so much I want to see Boots and roots, there's so much I've got to see Ride that rail, move my tail where I want to Said I take some ease, rest my feet if it feels good Pick my tune, an old hoedown Boots and roots don't you hold me down So much to see as the world goes spinning round I say don't hold on to me We're one my song and me Boots and roots, there's so much I've got to see Boots and roots, there's so much I want to see
