Am I like digging holes and hiding things inside them When I'll grow old I hope I won't forget to find them Dm F G Am 'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night Am I built a home and wait for someone to tear it down Then pack it up in boxes, head for the next town running Dm F G Am 'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night Dm And a thousand times I've seen this road F G A thousand times Am I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground Dm F I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh G Am I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh Am I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground Dm F I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh G Am I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh Am I like standing still, boy that's just a wishful plan Ask me where I come from, I'll say a different land Dm F G Am But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night Am I can't get the numbers, and play the guessing name It's just the place that changes, the rest is still the same Dm F G Am But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night Dm And a thousand times I've seen this road, F G A thousand times Am I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground Dm F I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh G Am I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh Am I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground Dm F I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh G Am I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh Am Am I like digging holes Am Am Hiding things inside them Am Am When I'll grow old Am Am I won't forget to find them Am Am I like digging holes Am Am Hiding things inside them Am Am When I'll grow old Am Am I won't forget to find them Am Am I've got no roots No roots Am I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground Dm F I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh G Am I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh Am I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground Dm F I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh G Am I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh
