Jill Johnson - Roots & Wings Lyrics
Her mum and dad grew up in this townMarried after school and settled downLike most round here, bought a little groundand planted roots.Her brother Mark works att daddy's storeSister Connie's wornin' on kid number fourBut Rose hut eighteen and hit "that" doorand she flewshe said I know they're thinkin'I'm just the wild thingJust cause you've got rootsDoesn't mean you can't have wingsCHORUS:So she fliessoaring where she's never beenReaching out for a lifeGrabbin' all she can take inShe flies like an eagle on the windJust cause you've got rootsDoesn't mean you can't have wingsShe moved to Dallas then Frisco BaySpent a year in Denver, (and) wound up in L.A.Where she met a guy who took her breath awayand said I do!They had a daughter late next fallTook a trip back home to show her to mumHer mama said (baby) I've seen it allshe act's just like youRose - when she grows upremember one thingJust cause she's got rootsDoesn't mean she can't have wingsCHORUSHer mum and dad move to townIn north L.A they settled downLike most round here, bought a little groundand planted roots.
