Back to my Roots / Outstanding

Back to my Roots / Outstanding

Ashé mo re, ashé mo re, Ashé mo re, ashé mo re

Zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots, yeah To the place of my birth Back down to earth X2

I'm standing in the rain
Drenched and soaked with pain Tired of short time benefits
And being exposed to the elements

I'm homeward bound
Got my head turned around

Back to my roots, Back to my roots, Ooh, ah

Zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots, yeah To the place of my birth Back down to earth

Ain't talkin' 'bout the roots in the land Talkin' 'bout the roots in the man
I feel my spirit's gettin' old
It's time to recharge my soul

I'm homeward bound
Got my head turned around

You light my fire
I feel alive with you, baby You blow my mind
I'm satisfied

You light my fire (parts split)
I feel alive with you, baby You blow my mind
I'm satisfied

ooh ahhh

Outstanding
Girl, you knock me out Excited
It makes me wanna shout

Outstanding (harmonies)
Girl, you knock me out Excited
It makes me wanna shout

zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots, yeah

To the place of my birth Back down to earth
