Lyrics

Hello again Yes indeed my friend I can tell Goin' get together again I could be right I could b ewrong I feel nice when I sing this song And I don't mind Whatever happens is fine Baby likes to keep on playing . . . What do I know, what do I know? Wilder than the place we live in . . . I'll take you there, I'll take you there I don't mind some slight disorder . . . Pull up the roots pull up the roots And I know ev'ry living creature . . Pull up the roots, pull up the roots And I know you I understand what you do Yes, indeed I put the hat on my head Come outa your mess Bring yourself in I feel nice when I start to sing And I can see Ev'ryone else is like me Towns that dissapeared completely . . . Pull up the roost, pull up the roots Miles and miles of endless highway . . . Pull up the roost, pull up the roots Colored lights and shiney curtains . . . I'll take you there, I'll take you there Ev'rything has been forgiven . . . Pull up the roost, pull up the roots Well I have a good time . . . when I go out of my mind And it's a wonderful place . . . and I can't wait to be there And I hear beautiful sounds . . . coming outa the ground Gonna take us a while . . . but we'll go hundreds of times Baby likes to keep on playing . . . What d'you know? what d'you I know? Wilder than the place we live in . . . I'll take you there, I'll take you there And I don't mind some slight disorder . . . Pull up the roots pull up the roots And no more time for talkin' it over . . . Pull up the roots, pull up the roots Well I have a good time . . . when I go out of my mind And it's a wonderful place . . . and I can't wait to be there And I hear beautiful sounds . . . coming outa the ground Someone musta been high . . . but I guess it's alright
