Puttin' New Roots Down

Oh-ooh, I've been called a rambler

I've been called a rogue

A lonesome highway traveler

Always on the road

I've felt the sting of the winter wind

Turned my collar to the cold

And I've waded in warm waters

On the Gulf of Mexico

I've always liked my freedom of being on my own

I'd love 'em, and I'd leave 'em, but then you came along

You've changed my way of thinking

You turned me right around

Now my mind's on you, baby

And I'm puttin' new roots down

I'm puttin' new roots down

Deep down in the ground

I wanna raise some kids instead of raising cane

When you tell me that you love me, I like the way it sounds

You're the reason why I'm puttin' new roots down

Oh-ooh, some say I'm a drifter

Say I'm a rolling stone

But now that I'm called daddy, I've lost my urge to roam

I'd have to say it makes my day

When we lay down at night

When you wrap both arms around me

You keep me satisfied

I'm puttin' new roots down

Deep down in the ground

Raise a kid instead of raising cane

When you tell me that you love me

I like the way it sounds

You're the reason why I'm puttin' new roots down

You're the reason why I'm puttin' new roots down
