Pull Up The Roots Lyrics

Hello again

 Yes indeed my friend

 I can tell

 Goin' get together again

 I could be right

 I could b ewrong

 I feel nice when I sing this song

 And I don't mind

 Whatever happens is fine

Baby likes to keep on playing . . .

 What do I know, what do I know?

Wilder than the place we live in . . .

 I'll take you there, I'll take you there

I don't mind some slight disorder . . .

 Pull up the roots pull up the roots

And I know ev'ry living creature . .

 Pull up the roots, pull up the roots

 And I know you

 I understand what you do

 Yes, indeed

 I put the hat on my head

 Come outa your mess

 Bring yourself in

 I feel nice when I start to sing

 And I can see

 Ev'ryone else is like me

Towns that dissapeared completely . . .

 Pull up the roost, pull up the roots

Miles and miles of endless highway . . .

 Pull up the roost, pull up the roots

Colored lights and shiney curtains . . .

 I'll take you there, I'll take you there

Ev'rything has been forgiven . . .

 Pull up the roost, pull up the roots

 Well I have a good time . . . when I go out of my mind

 And it's a wonderful place . . . and I can't wait to be there

 And I hear beautiful sounds . . . coming outa the ground

 Gonna take us a while . . . but we'll go hundreds of times

Baby likes to keep on playing . . .

 What d'you know? what d'you I know?

Wilder than the place we live in . . .

 I'll take you there, I'll take you there

And I don't mind some slight disorder . . .

 Pull up the roots pull up the roots

And no more time for talkin' it over . . .

 Pull up the roots, pull up the roots

 Well I have a good time . . . when I go out of my mind

 And it's a wonderful place . . . and I can't wait to be there

 And I hear beautiful sounds . . . coming outa the ground

 Someone musta been high . . . but I guess it's alright
