Jeremy Parks – Roots lyrics

Layin on my pillow
Countin armadillos
Not much else to do
Buffalo a grazin
Rattlesnakes a shakin
And the coyote singing the blues
I said bye bye to my suit and tie
And traded it for jeans and boots
Living off the land, gonna be a better man
Getting back down to my roots

Now Everybody in the city moves much to fast
Too much cement and not enough grass
I felt like a rat trapped in a cage
I never seemed to be on the right page
Got tired of living my life this way
Paycheck to paycheck and bills to pay
I put the pedal to the metal til the scenery changed
And made a new life out here on the range

Layin on my pillow
Countin armadillos
Not much else to do
Buffalo a grazin
Rattlesnakes a shakin
And a coyote singing the blues
I said bye bye to my suit and tie
And traded it for jeans and boots
Living off the land, gonna be a better man
Just getting back down to my roots

Layin on my pillow
Countin armadillos
Not much else to do
Buffalo a grazin
Rattlesnakes a shakin
And the coyote singing the blues
I said bye bye to my suit and tie
And traded it for jeans and boots
Living off the land, gonna be a better man
Just getting back down to my roots

I spent my whole life working for somebody else
Now I’ve got 20 acres and I work for myself
Don’t get me wrong it ain’t all work and no play
I found me a girl that likes to roll in the hay
Well the sun comes up to a cock-a-doodle-do
Prairie dogs playing in the morning dew
Well a couple cups of coffee and I’m ready to roll
My first stop’s down at my fishing hole

Just layin on my pillow
Countin armadillos
Not much else to do
Buffalo a grazin
Rattlesnakes a shakin
And a coyote singing the blues
I said bye bye to my suit and tie
And traded it for jeans and boots
Living off the land, gonna be a better man
Getting back down to my roots
I said I’m livin off the land gonna be a better man
Getting back down to my roots
