| Flying down the street on my American Ace
|
| I was fast on my feet or flat on my face
|
| Testing my freedom from that day on
|
| Runnin' down the wind all the way back home
|
| That bike you gave me was one of my favorite things
|
| That day I discovered you’d given me roots and wings
|
| Roots and wings, gifts of love
|
| Holding me strong and lifting me up
|
| Child of the earth and a rider of the wind
|
| A dreamer of dreams caught in between roots and wings
|
| You weren’t standing in my way when I was 18
|
| Letting your heart break and letting me leave
|
| I was headin' my Chevy for the great unknown
|
| Knowing you’d be waiting at the end of that road
|
| Sometimes you’ve doubted the wisdom of my foolish dreams
|
| You never once denied me my roots and wings
|
| Roots and wings, gifts of love
|
| Holding me strong and lifting me up
|
| Child of the earth and a rider of the wind
|
| A dreamer of dreams caught in between roots and wings
|
| Now part of me wants to stay close to the ground
|
| And part of me wants to never come down
|
| Roots and wings, gifts of love
|
| Holding me strong and lifting me up
|
| Child of the earth and a rider of the wind
|
| A dreamer of dreams caught in between roots and wings |
