Roots & Wings Lyrics - The Well-known And Some Other Favourite Stories - Jill Johnson

Her mum and dad grew up in this town 

Married after school and settled down 

Like most round here, bought a little ground 

and planted roots. 

Her brother Mark works att daddy's store 

Sister Connie's wornin' on kid number four 

But Rose hut eighteen and hit "that" door 

and she flew 

she said I know they're thinkin' 

I'm just the wild thing 

Just cause you've got roots 

Doesn't mean you can't have wings

CHORUS: 

So she flies 

soaring where she's never been 

Reaching out for a life 

Grabbin' all she can take in 

She flies like an eagle on the wind 

Just cause you've got roots 

Doesn't mean you can't have wings 

She moved to Dallas then Frisco Bay 

Spent a year in Denver, (and) wound up in L.A. 

Where she met a guy who took her breath away 

and said I do! 

They had a daughter late next fall 

Took a trip back home to show her to mum 

Her mama said (baby) I've seen it all 

she act's just like you

Rose - when she grows up 

remember one thing 

Just cause she's got roots 

Doesn't mean she can't have wings 

CHORUS 

Her mum and dad move to town 

In north L.A they settled down 

Like most round here, bought a little ground 

and planted roots.
