Uprooted People Lyrics by Tall Travis

To Be in a Place

2022

[Verse 1]
Grew up in a town with a poisoned river
With poisoned soil and poisoned trees
And we are lucky we’re not tied down here
You and I can go where we please
[Chorus]
Uprooted people can do what they like
Uprooted people can take a knife and cut the ties away
And breathe in the new day
[Verse 2]
We tried our best to keep nice and healthy
But we soon developed an oily sheen
Said “somеday I’m gonna get out of this town
“I’m gonna go somewherе where the air is clean”
[Chorus]
Uprooted people can do what they like
Uprooted people can take a knife and cut the ties away
And breathe in the new day
Uprooted people can do what they like
Uprooted people can take a knife and cut the ties away
And breathe in the new day
[Bridge]
And although I miss you terribly I know it was for the best
‘Cause our choices were to stay and die or live and leave the nest
But you should call me sometime, or better yet come on down
‘Cause I’m always so much more like myself when you’re around
[Chorus]
Uprooted People are never sure
Just what tomorrow has in store
But I love you man
‘Cause that’s what I’m there for
Uprooted people can do what they like
Uprooted people can take a knife and cut the ties away
And breathe in the new day
