Roots Lyrics by Swingin Hammers

Swingin Hammers

2017

[Intro]
Mm, mm
Mm, mm

[Verse 1]
I'm tired of running, running, running into the things that kill my soul
I'm tired of always swingin' hammers at the love that makes me whole
I'm running (Mm, mm)

[Chorus]
I'm heading back to my roots and all the roads that lead to You
Setting off on a one-way train to a place where they know my name, yeah

[Verse 2]
I'm sick of running, running, running into the whip that strikes my back
'Bout time to start kicking, screaming; gotta get out of here fast
I'm running (Mm, mm, mm, mm)

[Chorus]
I'm heading back to my roots and all the roads that lead to You
Setting off on a one-way train to a place where they know my name
I'm heading back to my roots and all the roads that lead to You
Setting off on a one-way train to a place where they know my name, yeah (Oh, woah, oh)

[Bridge]
My feet are pounding one by one
On the gravel road that leads to
Freedom, freedom, freedom
It leads to You, yeah
It leads to You, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm heading back to my roots and all the roads that lead to You
Setting off on a one-way train to a place where they know my name
Heading back to my roots and all the roads that lead to You
Setting off on a one-way train to a place where they know my name, yeah

[Bridge]
I've been running, running, running
My feet are pounding
It leads to freedom
It leads to You

[Chorus]
I'm heading back to my roots and all the roads that lead to You
Setting off on a one-way train to a place where they know my
Heading back to my roots and all the roads that lead to You
Setting off on a one-way train to a place where they know my name

[Outro]
Where they know my name
