You weren't born in the town...where you grew up
But you put down roots, and that was good enough
Cause everybody knows...ya'll know
When you put down roots... things grow
~~~*1st Chorus*~~~
I'll be back
That's what you tell yourself
But the guy you find
His roots are somewhere else
So you go where this life takes you
Oh...shallow roots
~~*~~
When things seem the worst...you relive the best
Start calling up old friends, who have never left
Cause everybody knows...ya'll know
Where the roots are deep...that's home
~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~
I'll be back
That's what you tell yourself
But a brand new job
It leads you someplace else
And the baby's almost due
More shallow roots
~~*~~
You just can't be happy, and you're placing blame
On the man you love ...keeping you away
But everybody knows...You know...
It's time for new roots....to grow
~~~*Finale*~~~
You go back
And not by yourself
A sweet baby boy
A man who's been through Hell
Say goodbye to what's holding you
Those shallow roots
~~*~~
Oh...everybody knows...ya'll know
Where the roots are deep...That's home
Entirely up to you....
Those shallow roots....
