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

Paua oouaarancì

Ooh, ah
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

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