I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground I've got no roots uh uh uh uh 'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night And a thousand times I've seen this road A thousand times But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in

You take the high road down I take the ground below you I take the ground below You take the high road down, You let the wind take us down You let the storm come wipe us out I saw the fog snuff you out I saw the ocean come take you under I have my boot

Yeah, we all fall down The higher we fly the harder it feels when we hit the ground What makes a man work until it's kids too old to kiss and hug He won't climb another imaginary mountain when he is in love enough What makes a man build a kingdom all

Just one last time Even though it hurts I can’t slow down Walls are closing in and I hit the ground With “there’s no tomorrow” echo in my mind This is the end station But I can’t move away from you This is the edge of patience But you’ll prove yourself

And I will wait, I will wait for you Wait for now And I'll kneel down Know my ground 'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you Well I came home Like a stone And I fell heavy into your arms These days of dust

And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground I left another message, you are never around Everytime I look for you the sun goes down But everytime I look for you the sun goes down once more Will the last one out please shut the door In spite of

I ain't no angel, I never was But I never hurt you, it's not my fault You see those egg shells, they're broken up A million pieces, strewn out across the ground Remember once the things you told me And how the tears ran from my eyes They didn't fall

Stand your ground Don’t let the bastards grind you down Be bold, be strange Don’t let their fears make you afraid Yesterday I told my sons, "Sometimes the bad guys win" And that it made me scared about the world that we live in But I had to reassure them

'Cause country ain't never been pretty Country ain't never been pretty, and that's alright You might not get it at first, but you'll come around And see, your legs look great with both feet on the ground, aw right Please stop me if you get it already

And never say never Whenever you knock me down I will not stay on the ground Pick it up, up, up Ne-never say never (never say it) Ne-never say never (never) And there's just no turning back When your heart's under attack
