Pull Up the Roots

[Verse 1]

Hello again

Yes, indeed, my friend

I can tell

Gonna get together again

I could be right, I could be wrong

I feel nice when I sing this song

And I don't mind

Whatever happens is fine

[Chorus]

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 every living creature

Pull up the roots, pull up the roots

[Verse 2]

And I know you

I understand what you do

Yes, indeed

I put the hat on my head

Come out of your mess, bring yourself in

I feel nice when I start to sing

And I can see

Everyone else is like me

[Chorus]

Towns that disappeared completely

Pull up the roots, pull up the roots

Miles and miles of endless highway

Pull up the roots, pull up the roots

Colored lights and shiny curtains

I'll take you there, I'll take you there

Everything has been forgiven

Pull up the roots, pull up the roots

[Bridge]

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 out of the ground

Gonna take us a while, but we'll go hundreds of times

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus]

Baby likes to keep on playing

What d'you know? What d'you 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

[Outro]

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 out of the ground

Someone must have been high, but I guess it's alright
