Roots and Wings – Lyrics

Verse 1
She met him in high school They were inseparable
When people talked of love they talked of them
But she just couldn’t stay. Said goodbye at that airport
The road called her name that’s all she said

Verse 2
She always thought in her mind he would always be there
And she’d be back as soon as she was done
Months turned into years. Their phone calls got shorter
But she still wasn’t ready to come back home

Chorus
You can’t have roots and wings
When the road calls your name you’re gonna walk away from many things
And time don’t stand still for you to realize your dreams
No you can’t have roots and wings

Verse 3
Since then he moved on Met a girl that he fell for
He called to let her know but she wasn’t home
She thinks about him often. Misses their lovin
Wonder what it was that ever kept her gone


Bridge
She often wonders how it could have been
Thinking that it somehow as it should have been
She doesn’t have regrets but as she sits home alone wonders
If it’d been different had she not gone.

Chorus
Cause you can’t have roots and wings
When the road calls your name you’re gonna walk away from many things
And time don’t stand still for you to realize your dreams
No you can’t have roots and wings
You can’t have roots and wings
