Zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots

To the place of my birth
Back down to earth

Not talkin' 'bout the roots in the land
I'm talkin' 'bout the roots in the man

Zippin' up my boots, goin' back to my roots
I'm homeward bound, got my head turned around

Goin' back to find myself
I can't live with nobody else

Who's living in the world and not be seen
Goin' back, goin' back right there an' be me

Not searchin' for riches I've had all the time
Finding out happiness is just a state of mind
Just a state of mind

Zippin' up my boots
Goin' back to my roots
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth
Not talkin' 'bout the roots in the land
I'm talkin' 'bout the roots in the man

Zippin' up the boots, getting back to the roots
I'm homeward bound, got my head turned around, oh oh oh

Going home, I'm going home
Going home, going home where I do belong
Not found the riches that I've got the time
Finding out happiness is just a state of mind
Just a state of mind, just a state of mind
Just a state of mind, yeah

Zippin' up the boots, goin' back to the roots
To the place of my birth, get on down to the earth

It's not black, it's not white
It's not red, it's not yellow
It's not black, it's not white

It's not red, it's not yellow
It's not black, it's not white
It's not red, it's not yellow

It's down to earth, it's down to earth
It's down to earth, it's down to earth
It's not red, it's not white
It's not yellow, it's not black
It's not red, it's not white
It's not yellow, ït's not black....
