Hello again
     Yes indeed my friend
     I can tell
     Goin' 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
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 ev'ry living creature...
     Pull up the roots, pull up the roots

     And I know you
     I understand what you do
     Yes, indeed
     I put the hat on my head
     Come outta your mess
     Bring yourself in
     I feel nice when I start to sing
     And I can see
     Ev'ryone else is like me

Towns that disappeared completely...
     Pull up the roost, pull up the roots
Miles and miles of endless highway...
     Pull up the roost, pull up the roots
Colored lights and shiny curtains...
     I'll take you there, I'll take you there
Ev'rything has been forgiven...
     Pull up the roost, pull up the roots

     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 outta the ground
     Gonna take us a while...but we'll go hundreds of times

Baby likes to keep on playing...
     What d'you know?  what d'you I 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

     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 outta the ground
     Someone musta been high...but I guess it's alright
