Lyrics

No Roots

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I like digging holes and hiding things inside them

When I grow old, I hope I won't forget to find them

'Cause I've got memories and

Travel like gypsies in the night

I build a home and wait for someone to tear it down

Then pack it up in boxes

Head for the next town running

'Cause I've got memories and

Travel like gypsies in the night

And a thousand times I've seen this road

A thousand times

I've got no roots

But my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots

But my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots

I've got no roots

I've got no roots

But my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots

But my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots

I've got no roots

I like standing still, but that's just a wishful plan

Ask me where I come from

I'll say a different land

But I've got memories and

Travel like gypsies in the night

I count gates and numbers

Then play the guessing game

It's just the place that changes

The rest is still the same

But I've got memories and

Travel like gypsies in the night

And a thousand times I've seen this road

A thousand times

I've got no roots

But my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots

But my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots

I've got no roots

I've got no roots

But my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots

But my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots

I've got no roots

I like digging holes

Hiding things inside them

When I grow old

I won't forget to find them

I like digging holes

Hiding things inside them

When I grow old

I won't forget to find them

I've got no roots!

No roots!

I've got no roots

But my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots

But my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots

I've got no roots

I've got no roots

But my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots

But my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots

I've got no roots

(No!)
